Twins News
Connor Prielipp shone in the Twins' latest loss to the Brewers, delivering a career-high six innings and striking out eight, but his stellar effort was overshadowed by an offense that could muster only one run. With a record of 20-25 and sitting in the division's third spot, the Twins are showing signs of life, recently outscoring opponents by six runs over their last seven games. Unfortunately, they squandered prime opportunities against Milwaukee, failing to capitalize with runners in scoring position,an all-too-familiar theme for this team. To add to the drama, Byron Buxton's lingering hip issues raise concerns as he continues to be a central figure in the lineup. As the Twins look to rebound in the series, they need more than just solid pitching, they require their bats to wake up and support their promising young arm.
