Twins News
Despite yesterday's disappointing 5-9 loss to the Red Sox, the Minnesota Twins are still riding a hot streak, boasting a 5-2 record over the last week and leading the division. As Royce Lewis nears his return from the injured list, the unexpected rise of players like Tristan Gray could push James Outman off the roster, adding to the competition. Meanwhile, Taj Bradley is emerging as a potential ace, demonstrating the kind of performance that could solidify the Twins' rotation amid some shaky outings from Simeon Woods-Richardson. With a run differential of +14 over the past week, the Twins' offense is heating up, but they need to tighten up their pitching if they want to stay atop the AL Central.
