Twins News
The Minnesota Twins are finally finding their groove, currently riding high after a 5-2 week, including a 5-3 victory against the Chicago White Sox. Byron Buxton continues to be a key player, smashing his 24th career leadoff home run, though he's still limited to DH duties due to ongoing soreness. Meanwhile, the Twins are shaking things up defensively by moving Brooks Lee to third base after Royce Lewis's demotion. This shift could stabilize the infield as the team fights to climb above the .500 mark. With a run differential of +7 over the past week, the Twins are showing signs of a potent offense, and the momentum could be pivotal as they face the White Sox again. The combination of Buxton's bat and Lee's adjustment could be just what the doctor ordered to keep this warm streak alive.
