Right in the middle for a reason. A 3-run win last night helps the cause. Plus, 4 wins in 7 games. The week's been good.

Twins News

The Minnesota Twins notched a much-needed 2-0 victory against the Athletics, fueled by the contributions of Kody Clemens, who tripled twice and showcased his versatility on the field. This win came on the heels of mixed roster news, as the team welcomed back Connor Prielipp and Cole Sands from the injured list, bolstering both their rotation and bullpen. Unfortunately, they also lost infielder Jonathan Paredes to an oblique strain, adding to their injury woes. Amidst trade speculation surrounding Joe Ryan, it seems the Twins are intent on keeping their promising pitcher, adding another layer of intrigue to their season. With a current record of 52-54, the Twins must build on this momentum and turn the tide after a rough week marked by a -15 run differential.
