last night's loss

The numbers paint a bleak picture. Last night's loss by 7 drags the score down. On top of that, a 2-5 stretch over the last 7 is hard to spin.

Twins News

Cole Sands' trip to the 15-day IL with a mild forearm strain is just the latest blow to a Twins bullpen already struggling under pressure. This comes off the heels of an uninspired 3-7 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, where the Twins' pitching again faltered, giving up 7 runs and extending the team's recent slide to 2-5 over the last week. Byron Buxton's resurgence at the plate is a small silver lining as he continues his hot streak, but it’s hard to find optimism amid a -6 run differential and a record that sits at a disappointing 14-19. With John Klein now called up to potentially stabilize the bullpen, the team must quickly find a way to turn the tide before the season slips further away.
