Twins News

The Minnesota Twins are battling through a rough stretch, dropping two of their last five, including a tight 5-6 loss to the Angels that exemplified their recent struggles. With a dismal run differential of -17 over this stretch, the team's performance raises serious questions about their future, especially in the wake of Yoendrys Gómez's troubling decline, potentially muddying the closer situation for 2027. On a brighter note, Bailey Ober shined in his last outing, delivering three scoreless innings for his first career save, giving the beleaguered bullpen a much-needed rest. Meanwhile, Kody Clemens is putting together a career year, prompting discussions about his role in the team's plans moving forward. As the season winds down, every game matters, but the Twins must find a way to regain their momentum before it's too late.
