The bad news is, the first inning has been kryptonite. Since the start of 2023, and prior to Tuesday's tangle with the visiting Orioles, López had allowed a .270/.308/.474 batting line in the first inning...18263Wed, 07 May 2025 15:04:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-9-orioles-1-superstars-deliver-for-twins-in-series-opener-r18260/Box Score SP: Pablo López 5.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 11 K (98 pitches, 58 strikes (59%)) Home Runs: Carlos Correa (2), Byron Buxton (8) Top 3 WPA: Lopez (.175), Buxton (.148), Correa (.131) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs)    The Twins started their homestand against a familiar fa...18260Wed, 07 May 2025 02:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-offense-is-sputtering%E2%80%94so-why-is-carson-mccusker-still-in-st-paul-r18259/The Minnesota Twins’ offense continues to sputter with.
