Twins News

The Minnesota Twins finally showed some life, overcoming a five-game losing streak with a 9-6 victory over the White Sox, thanks to Tristan Gray’s explosive performance, including his second grand slam of the season. Yet, the joy is bittersweet as they still grapple with injuries, particularly with Bailey Ober sidelined due to a mild right flexor strain. The Twins have also made moves to bolster their struggling bullpen, acquiring reliever Justin Lawrence from the Pirates, who hopes to revitalize his career in Minnesota. With a current record of 27-33, every win matters as the team tries to climb out of the depths of a rough week that saw them go 1-6 with a -25 run differential. As they gear up to face the White Sox again, the Twins must keep the momentum going and make every opportunity count.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Ideally, obviously, the Twins would rather not have to do without Bailey Ober at all. But given the range of possibilities, it seems the news they received on Monday regarding Ober’s right elbow was more good than bad. Ober has been diagnosed with a mild right flexor strain,

Twins 9, White Sox 6: Fifty shades of Tristan Gray
No pitchers, no problem. As long as you have Tristan Gray on your team, he’ll give you enough runs to make sure your suddenly shaky pitching staff can pound the strike zone with ease. It wasn’t all the Twins’ journeyman infielder, but he’s already had a few big swings when they needed it most this […]
