Twins News
Taj Bradley's return to Tropicana Field turned into a nightmare, as he surrendered four homers in what became another frustrating loss for the Minnesota Twins, who fell 6-2 to the Tampa Bay Rays. This marks the Twins' sixth loss in their last seven games, and their inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities continues to haunt them. Fans are also scratching their heads over the demotion of Kendry Rojas, with many feeling a struggling ex-Dodger should have been the odd man out instead. In the midst of this turmoil, reliever Kody Funderburk celebrated the birth of his daughter, reminding us that life goes on amidst the chaos on the field. As the Twins sit at 12-13, it's hard not to feel the chill of their current form as they slip from first to third in the division.
