After dominating in St. Paul for just under nine innings, the right-hander got the call to the big leagues for the first time since 2019 and hasn&#x2019;t missed a beat. He&#x2019;s overcome an unsightly 15.5% BB rate with his 28.2% K rate in order to post a 1.06 ER...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14366</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Jun 2023 12:14:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Rays 7, Twins 0: Twins Take an Extra Off-Day in St. Pete</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rays-7-twins-0-twins-take-an-extra-off-day-in-st-pete-r14365/</link><description>Box Score:

The Twins continue to pace the AL Central, but frustratingly, they haven&#x2019;t been able to run away from the pack quite yet in a weak division.
