Minnesota TwinsvsTexas Rangers
MIN 12/TEX 2
Things to say
Twins crushed the Rangers 12-2 in Arlington.
01
opener
Twins absolutely steamrolled Texas last night, 12-2. It was over by the fifth, honestly. Rangers couldn't get anybody out.
02
key player
Minnesota's lineup just teed off top to bottom — heart of the order did the damage and the bottom third kept the line moving.
03
hot take
Bochy went to the pen way too early and it turned a bad inning into a laugher. That bullpen is gassed.
04
deep cut
Both teams are under .500 and this somehow felt like a playoff atmosphere for the Twins side — they're playing way better than that 35-40 record suggests.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Texas can stop the bleeding tonight — Globe Life has not been kind to them lately.
The recap
Twins absolutely steamrolled Texas 12-2 at Globe Life, and it wasn't even that close. Minnesota's bats got into Rangers pitching early and just kept pouring it on — looked like the manager went to the pen too early and the bullpen had nothing to slow the bleeding.
Texas never had an answer; once the heart of the order started leaving the yard, this one was over by the middle innings. Ugly getaway-day vibes for the Rangers, who drop to 35-38.
