last night's loss

Balanced, and not in the fun way. Losing by 4 last night pulls things in the wrong direction. Working in their favor, a 5-2 week speaks for itself.

Twins News

The Twins' recent momentum takes a hit as Byron Buxton lands back on the 10-day IL with a right hip impingement, just nine days after his return from a previous stint. This injury couldn't come at a worse time, with the team sitting at a mediocre 54-54 and now facing questions about their trade strategy under GM Jeremy Zoll. Joe Ryan's struggles continue to plague the rotation, as he turned in another lackluster performance against the Royals, who blanked the Twins 4-0. With Buxton sidelined again, the offense lacks its spark, and fans are left wondering how much longer they can keep pace in the division. The next matchup against Kansas City offers a chance to rebound, but this latest injury certainly dims the optimism.
