Los Angeles DodgersvsMinnesota Twins
LAD 12/MIN 3
Things to say
The Dodgers beat the Twins 12-3 at Target Field.
01
opener
Yeah, that one got ugly early. Dodgers put up a dozen and never looked back. Twins just couldn't keep up.
02
key player
The heart of the LA order was relentless all night. When the top of that lineup gets into their stuff, it's lights out.
03
hot take
Honestly the Twins are just stuck in neutral. Sitting under .500 and the bats go quiet against a real club.
04
deep cut
Minnesota's manager went to the pen too early and it snowballed. Once the bullpen's exposed in a getaway day game, it's a long afternoon.
05
exit
Anyway, LA's rolling at 51-29. Curious if the Twins can steal one before this series wraps.
The recap
The Dodgers came into Target Field and turned a getaway day into a laugher, hanging a dozen on the Twins and never looking back in a 12-3 rout. Minnesota's pitching couldn't find an out when it mattered, and once LA's lineup got rolling through the heart of the order, the floodgates opened. Three runs for the Twins was never going to be enough against a Dodgers club that's now 22 games over .500 and bullying everybody. This one was over by the middle innings, plain and simple. }
Wait — let me fix that, it got cut off.
