Twins News
The Minnesota Twins fell short once again against the St. Louis Cardinals, losing 9-6 in a game where the longball ruled, with Byron Buxton, Royce Lewis, and Luke Keaschall all going deep. Despite the home run frenzy, the Twins' pitching woes surfaced yet again, giving up four home runs to the Cardinals and reflecting a troubling trend, as they now allow an average of 6.4 runs per game over the past week. Royce Lewis' resurgence is a rare bright spot, even prompting the team to revive a canceled giveaway in his honor. Meanwhile, Kody Clemens has found a second chance in Minnesota, proving that the Twins still have the potential for redemption amidst their ongoing struggles. As they sit at 32-39, fans are left wondering if this season can be salvaged before it slips away.
