️
The Minnesota Twins brought the heat with a scoreless masterpiece against the Kansas City Royals, showing that our pitching is in peak form! Right from the get-go, the mound command was evident as Royals hitters struggled against our impeccable pitching staff. Joe Ryan started strong, retiring the Royals batters with ease in the first three innings. The combination of precise pitching and solid fielding kept the Royals from making any significant impact throughout the game.

Matt Wallner added fireworks with a spectacular homer in the 8th, and France knocked another one out of the park in the 9th, solidifying an unshakeable 4-0 lead!
Bullpen Closes it Down! 
When it came to closing the game, we saw an outstanding team effort. Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran were stellar out there, effortlessly keeping the Royals from mounting any comeback attempt.
