Twins News
The Minnesota Twins continue to wrestle with inconsistency, following a 7-1 loss to the Mariners that showcased both Byron Buxton's power,his seventh home run of the season,and the bullpen's late-game collapse. After a promising start from Joe Ryan, the team's offense failed to capitalize, highlighting a disturbing trend that has plagued them recently, particularly with Royce Lewis struggling since his return from the IL. The Twins also dealt with roster changes, placing Garrett Acton on the injured list and promoting Luis García to shore up a beleaguered bullpen. As they sit at 13-16, the pressure mounts to find their stride with only two wins in their last seven games. Fans are left hoping this latest roster shake-up can spark a turnaround against the same Mariners who just handed them a frustrating defeat.
