The Twins ended a brutal ten-day road trip with a six-and-four record after a disappointing finish — swept by the rebuilding Pirates in their final game, 9-3. Despite a strong start with a sweep of the Red Sox, they lost three of four to the White Sox and couldn’t recover. Braxton Ashcraft dominated with 11 strikeouts, while Zebby Matthews struggled, giving up seven runs before being pulled. Mike Paredes made his MLB debut in a tough spot, walking the first two batters but settling down for three scoreless innings. With starters barely lasting five innings, the Twins called up Paredes to help cover innings. Now back home, they aim to regroup before facing the White Sox again — hoping to turn things around against familiar foes.

The White Sox are riding a five-game win streak and sit in second place in the AL Central as they head into a pivotal matchup against the struggling Twins, who are in third and looking to bounce back at home. With a 3-1 series edge so far, the Sox are powered by standout pitcher David Sandlin (1.50 ERA) facing off against Twins’ Joe Ryan (2.94 ERA). The Sox have been unstoppable over their last ten games, winning seven and outscoring opponents by 20 runs, while the Twins are 4-6 in that stretch. Injuries loom for both teams, adding drama to what could be a turning point in the division race.

The Twins got schooled by the Pirates in a brutal three-game sweep, losing 25-17 across the series and falling to a five-game skid. Manager Derek Shelton, a former Pirates bench coach, faced his old team at home — and it didn’t go well. Despite praise for his direct, preparation-focused leadership from players like Josh Bell and Taylor Rogers, the Twins’ momentum stalled hard. Now heading back to face the White Sox, Minnesota needs a quick turnaround if they want to salvage their June start.
