Rough Day at Target Field 
Fellow Twins fans, this was a tough one. The Blue Jays absolutely dominated us from the get-go, finishing with a heart-wrenching 15-0 win. Let's break it down.The Disaster Begins 
In the top of the 1st inning, things started to fall apart quickly. George Springer got hit by a pitch, and shortly thereafter, Daulton Varsho smacked a two-run homer. That was just the beginning. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Spencer Horwitz followed up with back-to-back hits, including another homer by Horwitz. Before we knew it, we were down 7-0. More Home Runs, More Woes 
The 2nd inning offered no relief. Addison Barger hit a homer to add two more runs to their lead. This time, it was a two-run shot scoring Horwitz. It seems like everyone on the Blue Jays decided today was the day to shine. Infield Struggles and Pitching Worries 
Our pitchers were having a rough day, and the offense didn't do much to help. In the top of the 3rd, Jimenez walked and then Guerrero Jr. and Horwitz singled again, pushing the score to 11-0. We switched pitchers multiple times, trying to find some relief, but nothing seemed to work.No Hits from Our Side 
We struggled to get anything going offensively. In the bottom of the 4th inning, we saw Matt Wallner and Royce Lewis both get out, with Max Kepler lining out to end the inning. It was one of many quiet innings for our bats.Keeping Up Was Hard 
By the 5th inning, Blue Jays' Wagner continued to hit, and we were just trying to find any sort of rhythm. Despite switching in newer players like Austin Martin for some fresh legs, the result was the same — outs and no runs.Hope in the 6th, Briefly 
There was a glimmer of hope in the bottom of the 6th when Christian Vázquez singled to center and Willi Castro followed suit. But any potential rally was quickly squashed by a fielder’s choice and a string of outs. Finishing with a Fizzle 
By the 9th inning, the score was 15-0 and it was clear we were outmatched today. Farmer and Lewis briefly gave us some action, but just like earlier in the game, it ended with no runs scored. Final Score: 15-0 in favor of the Blue Jays.
Tough Game, But We'll Bounce Back 
It's never easy taking a loss like this, but every game is a new opportunity. Let's rally behind our team, hoping for better games ahead. We'll keep cheering and stay hopeful for a stronger performance next time. Go Twins!
