a rough stretch

A rough patch, by the numbers. Winning just 1 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down. Also weighing on the score: getting outscored by 14 is dragging the score south.

Twins News

After a dismal week, the Minnesota Twins find themselves in a serious tailspin, now 1-6 over their last seven games following a brutal 1-7 loss to the Seattle Mariners. This marks their fourth consecutive series defeat and highlights glaring issues, particularly as they prepare to face the reigning American League champion Blue Jays. With a record of 13-17, the Twins are struggling offensively, averaging just 3.9 runs per game, while their pitching staff has allowed 5.7 runs per game during this rough stretch. Key players like Ryan Jeffers and Brooks Lee have been bright spots, but they can't carry the team alone. As the Twins look to right the ship, these upcoming games will be crucial not just for their record, but for the morale of a team desperately needing a turnaround.
