Twins News

The Twins are shaking off the disappointment of their season-opening loss with a promising 4-1 victory over the Orioles, showcasing a resilient bullpen that seems to be finding its footing under new management. Royce Lewis, who needs to be handled with care, still managed to spark excitement despite the team’s struggles, as the offense found a way to score four runs from just four hits. The addition of Drew Smith on a minor league deal adds depth to a bullpen that faces scrutiny but showed signs of life. With the season just beginning, fans can cling to the hope that these early wins might signal a turnaround from last year’s disappointments. It's time for the Twins to capitalize on this momentum and back up their potential with consistent performance as they continue their road trip.
