a rough stretch

Hard to find a bright spot in the data. The 2-5 record this week is doing most of the damage. And dropped last night by 3 and the temperature took a hit.

Twins News

The Minnesota Twins face a critical juncture as they prepare for the next 15 games, all against division rivals, amid a disappointing stretch that saw them lose to the Athletics 4-2. With a record of 64-69 and a -7 run differential over the past week, the urgency is palpable. Byron Buxton's ongoing hip issues add to the concern, as the team awaits his evaluation after pulling him from the lineup. While the playoff picture seems bleak, discussion of potential postseason rosters feels premature when the current squad can't seem to hold leads, as seen in yesterday's game meltdown. The next series against fellow contenders is not just a chance for redemption, it could ultimately define the Twins' season.
