The Minnesota Twins suffered their ninth consecutive loss in a one-run game, falling 6-5 to the Seattle Mariners. This defeat came after a disappointing month, leaving the Twins at 6-16 in June. Closer Jhoan Duran hit Jorge Polanco with a pitch in the ninth inning, allowing Julio Rodríguez to score the winning run. Manager Rocco Baldelli expressed frustration at the missed opportunities, emphasizing that the team has shown potential for success despite the current struggles.

Chris Paddack, who pitched five innings, remarked on the team's determination and urged fans to 'keep the faith.' Kody Clemens and Ryan Jeffers contributed with significant hits that temporarily tied the game, signaling that the Twins still have a fighting spirit. However, the inability to secure wins late in games highlights a persistent issue that the team must address if they hope to turn their season around.
