Zebby Matthews struggled in his return from the injured list, allowing five earned runs in just over four innings, as the Minnesota Twins fell 10-6 to the Colorado Rockies, who now sit at the bottom of the MLB standings. Despite an early 3-0 lead, the Twins couldn't hold on, witnessing a resurgence from the Rockies' offense, highlighted by Ryan McMahon's two-run homer and Ezequiel Tovar's tiebreaking three-run shot. The Twins, under pressure to improve, saw critical moments slip away, with eight of the Rockies' ten runs coming with two outs.

Twins shortstop Carlos Correa, while contributing two hits, expressed frustration over the team's inability to execute in critical situations. Manager Rocco Baldelli noted the team's over-aggressiveness at the plate, emphasizing the need for better situational hitting. The loss marks the Twins' third consecutive defeat against a struggling Rockies team, raising questions about their consistency as they approach the final stretch of the season.
