Game Recap: A Rough Day at Target Field
Hey Twins fans!
Well, it was a tough game for the boys today. We faced the Chicago Cubs at Target Field and, unfortunately, came up short with an 8-1 loss. The Cubs really brought their A-game, while our squad struggled to find traction. Let's break down what happened.Bright Spots and Struggles
Our bats had a hard time getting going, but let's give props to Kody Clemens for providing the only highlight offensively with a solo home run to right center in the 5th inning! That was a solid 406-feet blast.
Besides that, Ryan Jeffers and Royce Lewis each managed to double and single respectively, but the Cubs pitching managed to keep us off-balance most of the game.Cubs Offensive Onslaught
The real story of the game was Pete Crow-Armstrong, who was a thorn in our side all day. He smashed a couple of homers, one being an impressive 425-foot shot, as part of a strong performance by the Cubs' lineup. Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner chipped in with key hits that drove their team’s scoreboard to light up continuously. The Cubs capitalized on needed opportunities, and that ultimately resulted in the lopsided scoreline.We have some adjustments to make, Twins Territory. But as always, we'll be ready for the next challenge. Let's keep supporting our team, and hopefully, we'll bounce back stronger in the next game! Until next time, Twins fans!
