Twins News
The Minnesota Twins are heating up at the right time, demolishing the Detroit Tigers 11-1 yesterday, highlighted by a massive 10-run sixth inning that showcased their offensive firepower. With a run differential of +8 over the last week, the team's bats are finally waking up, making this push for a Wild Card spot feel palpable. Meanwhile, the front office is shaking things up, designating outfielder Kyler Fedko for assignment to make room for new utility infielder Ben Ross, who is now officially on the roster. Joe Ryan is inching closer to his return, having pitched three solid innings in a rehab outing, which could bolster the pitching staff as September unfolds. The Twins are in a position to capitalize on this momentum, but they need to maintain consistency to make a serious playoff run.
