last night's win

An even split between good and bad. Last night's win by 2 is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Working against that, getting outscored by 4 in a week. That tanks the score.

Twins News

The Twins are teetering on the edge of chaos with the loss of Joe Ryan to the injured list due to a left glute strain, further complicating their already shaky rotation. Zebby Matthews, recalled to fill the void, faces his own health scare with a blister forcing him to exit during a recent game against the Brewers. Amidst this turmoil, Kaelen Culpepper made a memorable splash in his MLB debut, hitting a home run that brought some much-needed excitement to a lackluster season. With a 57-59 record and a lineup that’s struggled to score just 3.6 runs per game, it’s clear the Twins need more than just fresh faces, they require a rejuvenated offense and a miracle to turn this ship around.
