Twins News

Byron Buxton is back, and he wasted no time making an impact with an RBI double in his first at-bat after a four-game absence due to a right hip impingement. Unfortunately, the Twins couldn't carry that momentum into yesterday's game against the Yankees, losing 5-2 and continuing their rollercoaster season at 42-47. The frustration mounts as former Twins relievers like Louis Varland shine as All-Stars, highlighting a bullpen riddled with inconsistency. With Buxton and Joe Ryan representing the Twins at this year's Midsummer Classic, fans hope for a spark to ignite a second half of the season. But right now, with a lukewarm 4-3 record over the last week and the Yankees looming again, the team needs to find a way to stabilize its performance and make a decisive push.
