Twins News
The Minnesota Twins' struggles continued as they fell to the Houston Astros 6-4, thanks to a backbreaking grand slam by Yordan Alvarez that unraveled what had been a promising start for Joe Ryan. Despite having some of his best stuff this season, Ryan couldn't escape a disastrous fourth inning that spoiled the early lead. Adding to the Twins' woes, Byron Buxton is sidelined with a right hip impingement, a critical blow for a team already grappling with a .477 winning percentage and a concerning -11 run differential over the past week. With the trade deadline looming, fans are left to wonder not only about Ryan's future but also the overall direction of a team that seems to be losing its grip on contention.
