The Minnesota Twins put up 17 runs on Wednesday in a thumping of the Colorado Rockies. Royce Lewis hit a home run that put him in the history books and the organization nearly made some fun history well.
Twins had 5 different players with 3+ hits today: Correa, Lewis, Santana, Castro, Farmer.June 12, 2024
In Wednesday's game, Carlos Correa went 5-for-6, Lewis went 3-for-5, Carlos Santana went 3-for-5, as did both Kyle Farmer and Willi Castro. Five different Twins players had multiple RBI as well as the team pounded out 24 hits. After the win, the Twins are 36-32 on the season. They are in third place in the American League Central, 8.0 games back of the first-place Guardians and 2.5 back of the Royals, but they do currently occupy the third wild card spot. With Lewis and Byron Buxton now healthy, the Twins will look to make a run in the standings.
Minnesota will be back in action on Thursday night when they welcome the Oakland Athletics to town. Given that the A's have one of the worst records in baseball , perhaps this is the time for Minnesota to go on that run. First pitch from Target Field is set for 7:40 p.m. ET as Luis Medina pitches against Joe Ryan. Ryan is 4-5 with a 3.30 ERA.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
