First, with the team underperforming to a 7-13 start, the sky appeared to be falling.

	On Tuesday, Pablo L&#xF3;pez took the mound against the lowly Chicago White Sox in what should have been an overpowering match-up. Instead, L&#xF3;pez struggled through four innings by allowing three runs on four hits with two walks. He struck out six and earned a no-decision, but there were other...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16081</guid><pubDate>Sun, 28 Apr 2024 17:30:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Jhoan Dur&#xE1;n Will Soon Return for the Twins.

The cruise-ship loving pitcher began as a weak starter before becoming a reliable reliever in 2019 (though he posted a xERA of 5.51).

The stuff looked intact, but the question of whether the Twins could add a pitch to take him to the next level remained. We&#x2019;ve had three starts since then, and the results and usage patterns are all over the place.
