There was buzz about this team being strong enough to contend for the AL Central. Byron Buxton’s contributions likely would be a large part of that, but we’re now in August wondering how that part wen...14854Wed, 23 Aug 2023 19:21:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/dallas-keuchel-a-pitching-oddity-r14865/Going from the worst start he's had in his professional 2023 season to taking a perfect game into the seventh inning.
