last night's win

Could tip either way. A 4-run win last night helps the cause. Pulling the other way, 3-4 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted.

Twins News

Dean Kremer's dazzling 7-inning, one-hit performance against the Orioles not only silenced his critics but also showcased why the Twins took a chance on him at the trade deadline. With a record of 58-61 after a frustrating 3-4 loss to the Brewers, Minnesota desperately needed a boost, and Kremer delivered in spades. Meanwhile, Byron Buxton's potential return by the weekend offers a glimmer of hope as injuries continue to plague the roster. The Twins are mired in a rough patch at 2-5 over the last week, with a concerning run differential of -7. As they head into a crucial stretch against the Orioles, the team must harness Kremer's momentum and capitalize on Buxton's imminent return to spark a turnaround.
