Twins News

The Twins secured a much-needed 9-6 victory over the White Sox, but the win was overshadowed by more injury woes, as Bailey Ober is now dealing with a mild flexor strain in his right elbow. With the pitching staff already stretched thin, the team is forced to rely on promising talent like Connor Prielipp, who faced some struggles but showed flashes of potential in his debut. Meanwhile, the bullpen continues to be a liability, leading to the optioning of a key arm in a roster shakeup after acquiring Justin Lawrence. On a brighter note, Matt Wallner is starting to find his swing in Triple-A, a glimmer of hope the Twins desperately need as they tread water with a dismal 2-5 record over the last week.

Twins 6, White Sox 4: Twins come back and hold on for the win
The White Sox got on the board first in this game, with assistance from the Twins catcher. In the 3rd inning, Connor Prielipp walked Luisangel Acuna, who proceeded to steal 2nd, then 3rd, and come home on an errant throw from Alex Jackson, scoring the first run of the contest. Chase Meidroth hit an infield […]

It goes without saying that the Twins’ bullpen is in need of some juice. They have seemingly found a few strong building blocks, including Yoendrys Gomez, who has been a revelation for this team after the Twins pulled him out of thin air. Others have done enough to keep the team afloat, but the bullpen […]
