Every Twin in action last night seemed determined to leave it all on the field.Nailing The Final Stretches
As the game headed into its final stages, tensions rose, but so did the Twins’ resolve. Notably, in the 9th, Willi Castro's double was crucial, pushing Austin Martin across the plate to secure what would be our final run.
