A dozen, the hard way, as Twins blank Brewers – Twin Cities

The Minnesota Twins continue to defy adversity, securing their 12th consecutive victory with a 3-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite missing stars Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton, the team displayed depth and resilience, scoring early and relying on an impressive performance from pitcher Joe Ryan, who delivered a six-inning shutout. The Twins' offensive showing was spearheaded by Ty France and Kody Clemens, who contributed key RBIs in a game that emphasized the importance of versatility in their lineup.

Ryan's performance not only showcased his skills but also highlighted the Twins' ability to adapt under pressure. As injuries pile up, the team has maintained composure and focus, inching closer to their franchise record of 15 straight wins. With a strong bullpen and strategic hitting, Minnesota remains a formidable presence in the league, demonstrating that depth and teamwork can overcome challenges.

Twins beat Giants, climb back to .500 with seventh-straight win – Twin Cities

Twins beat Giants, climb back to .500 with seventh-straight win – Twin Cities

The Minnesota Twins have turned their season around remarkably, bouncing back from a challenging start that left them eight games under .500. After winning five of six games against struggling teams, they enjoyed a seven-game winning streak, leveling their record at .500 for the first time since Opening Day. This resurgence was highlighted by a narrow 2-1 victory against the San Francisco Giants at Target Field, showcasing a stellar performance from pitcher Joe Ryan, who struck out seven batters over six innings despite battling a serious illness earlier in the week.

Ryan's solid outing, coupled with Trevor Larnach's crucial two-run homer, proved just enough for the Twins' offense. The team's bullpen continued its impressive form, with Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran contributing scoreless innings to seal the win. A notable defensive play from catcher Christian Vázquez, who perfectly executed a pickoff, added to the Twins' highlight reel. Manager Rocco Baldelli was ejected during the game after a heated discussion with the umpire, but the team held its composure to secure the victory.

Royce Lewis aims to play "a little bit smarter"

Royce Lewis made his return to the Minnesota Twins after missing the first 35 games of the season due to a hamstring injury sustained during spring training. Known for his struggles with injuries early in his career, Lewis emphasized the importance of playing smart to avoid further setbacks. His initial game back as designated hitter saw him go 0 for 4. Frustrated with his injuries, he expressed hope that he has finally shaken the injury bug.

Meanwhile, the Twins embraced a lighter atmosphere in their clubhouse, thanks to a new ping pong table introduced by pitcher Chris Paddack. This addition was aimed at fostering a fun environment, as players like Jhoan Duran and Jorge Alcala took advantage of the table during downtime. As the team gears up for their series against the Baltimore Orioles, Bailey Ober is set to start in place of an ill Joe Ryan.
