Recent Performance


The Twinkies recently secured a win against the Red Sox with a solid performance that saw them score five runs on nine hits. Their pitching was commendable, maintaining an earned run average of four while keeping Boston's hitters at bay. However, consistency has been an issue; prior to this victory, they suffered losses where their offense struggled to make an impact and their bullpen faltered under pressure.


On the other hand, Baltimore's O's have demonstrated resilience in their gameplay. With players like Adley Rutschman leading from the front, they pose a formidable challenge for Minnesota’s pitching staff.
