A Promising Start Turns Cold
Hey Twins fans, today's game against the Detroit Tigers was a rollercoaster of emotions! Things kicked off with a bang when our very own Ryan Jeffers launched a massive 420 feet homer to center field in the first inning, giving us an early lead of 1-0. It was a great confidence boost and a strong statement right out of the gate.
Larnach Lights the Torch
As the innings rolled on, Trevor Larnach provided more fireworks in the fifth with a towering 434 feet solo homer to right field, adding to our lead and putting us up 2-0!

The bottom of the fifth inning saw the Tigers claw their way back into the game, courtesy of a 372 feet homer from Wenceel Perez. Deviations from our pitching strategy allowed Detroit to tie the game 2-2. Things took a further downturn when the Tigers pulled ahead with a three-run sixth inning, including a 437 feet homer by Kerry Carpenter. By the end of the seventh inning, a solo homer from Dillon Dingler extended their lead to 6-3.
Final Push and Reflections
Despite a valiant effort from Matt Wallner, who drew a walk in the eighth and delivered a clutch 437 feet homer in the sixth, we just couldn't close the gap. The Tigers' bullpen held firm, leaving us short-changed in Motown.Hats off to everyone who came out strong, though! It's a long season, and we'll bounce back soon.
