Twins News
After a disappointing 5-8 loss to the Rockies yesterday, the Twins are clinging to the hope of a turnaround as they look to build momentum against the same team today. Kody Clemens and Ryan Kreidler are driving the offense, showcasing their ability to 'press the issue' in the wake of a recent slump. Meanwhile, Bailey Ober's encouraging rehab outing signals a potential boost to a beleaguered pitching staff that has struggled with a 6.3 RA/G over the last week. With a record of 39-45, the Twins' postseason aspirations seem to hang by a thread, but the return of key players like Ober and the emergence of Kreidler could provide the spark needed to ignite a much-needed turnaround.
