A Fantastic Opening from the Twins
What a perfect way to kick off the series against the Athletics, with a commanding 10-4 win!
The game may have started off a little slow, but boy, did the bats come alive in that 2nd inning! It all began with a double from our beloved Carlos Correa, setting the stage for an explosive rally. Ty France drove in two vital runs, and Byron Buxton followed with a clutch double. Trevor Larnach and Brooks Lee rounded off the inning with RBI hits of their own, making it a 6-run inning! Go Twins! 
Weathering the Athletics' Third and Fourth Inning
Our bullpen did an impressive job holding the Athletics down after that surge. Although Lawrence Butler did manage to crank one out of the park in the fourth, scoring three, we maintained our composure and kept grinding. Credit to Ryan for showing tenacity on the mound, and to Stewart and Varland who provided solid middle relief. Our ability to get out of tight situations kept the momentum on our side.
The Late Game Offense and Solid Bullpen Performance
In the later innings, Byron Buxton continued to shine, knocking in two more runs in the 6th with a key single. It's always wonderful to see him in a rhythm. Not to mention, our bullpen continued to suppress any possibility of an Athletics comeback. Topa and Funderburk closed out strong, ensuring victory was in our hands. An overall team effort led to this solid win over the Athletics! Let's keep this momentum going, Twins!
