Mickey Gasper tied the game with his first career homer in the ninth, then Matt Wallner crushed a three-run shot to push Minnesota past Toronto 7-5 at Rogers Centre. Hoffman’s seventh blown save of the year sealed the comeback, with Tonkin grabbing the win and Topa the save for the Twins. Toronto weathered Springer’s two solo blasts and Lukes’ three-hit night, but fell short in a rally-by-rally loss that tightens the AL East race and reshapes late-season fantasy value.

Key moments included Gasper’s game-tying shot off a 95 mph sinker, Springer and Guerrero Jr. providing the Jays’ power, and Wallner’s blast turning the tide in the ninth. Bassitt went strong for Toronto before Minnesota’s late surge, while Keaschall's sixth-inning homer and Varsho’s RBI helped Toronto cling to the lead before the dramatic finish. The result narrows Toronto’s lead in the division as Boston blanked Baltimore.

Luke Keaschall’s 11th-inning, two-run blast capped a dramatic 5-3 walk-off win for Minnesota over Kansas City at Target Field, pushing his rookie hot streak to 11 straight games with a 12th game on base. Austin Martin’s eighth-inning triple and Ryan Jeffers’ RBI single framed the late rally that erased a tie in the eighth. The win snapped a skid against divisional rivals and kept Minnesota rolling, while Kansas City watched a two-run shot by Vinnie Pasquantino loom large early but fall short. Reliever Michael Tonkin earned the win after two scoreless frames with an automatic runner on second base, and the night also marked Ryan Fitzgerald’s first major league hit—a two-run homer that briefly sparked Minnesota’s advantage.

For fantasy players, Keaschall’s breakout is the headline, but the Twins’ late-inning depth also matters: Jeffers’ hot streak and Fitzgerald’s first MLB homer add streaming & keeper appeal, while the bullpen’s ability to navigate jammed innings bodes well for late-inning workhorses in real-life and fantasy formats alike. Royals’ offense stalled after Pasquantino’s early impact, and Ureña’s early control issues contrasted with a healthier Twins bullpen run. The result: Minnesota climbs in the standings as it continues to lean on its rookie wave.

Mickey Gasper's impressive performance in the minors has been overshadowed by the Minnesota Twins' roster decisions. Despite boasting a .344 batting average and a 1.106 OPS, Gasper wasn't called up to replace the injured Royce Lewis. Instead, the Twins opted for DaShawn Keirsey Jr., citing his versatility and ability to play a role that fits the team’s immediate needs. Lewis was placed on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, prompting the Twins to look for a player who could contribute defensively and in pinch-running situations.

Byron Buxton received a unique Father’s Day gift from his kids, which included personalized cleats adorned with their notes and drawings, but he was later scratched from the lineup due to elbow soreness after being hit by a pitch. This injury may affect Buxton's availability moving forward. Meanwhile, the Twins have a day off before resuming their road trip with a series against Cincinnati, as they look to maintain their competitive edge.
