Twins News
The Minnesota Twins continue to struggle with their identity as they drop to 1-2 after an 8-6 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, showcasing a concerning trend against left-handed pitchers,Kris Bubic made them look helpless yet again. With Bailey Ober's velocity still a question mark, the pitching staff is in flux and the bullpen roles remain undefined. Royce Lewis is showing signs of life, belting two homers over the weekend, but he can't carry this offense alone, especially with an xwOBA of just .291 and a dismal 24.3% hard-hit rate. If the Twins hope to turn things around against the Kansas City Royals, they need to find consistency at the plate and stabilize their pitching strategy, or risk becoming one of those teams that can't shake off early season woes.
