Kendry Rojas got the start tonight in lieu of Joe Ryan who was sick (he’ll pitch tomorrow, it sounds like), and immediately walked the first two Dodgers.

Minneapolis – Last week, Byron Buxton made headlines in The Athletic when he reacted (profanely) to the early rumors from national insiders that ranked him as one of the top trade candidates at this year’s Aug. 3 MLB Trade deadline. Before Tuesday night’s Minnesota Twins game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Jeremy Zoll reiterated the same message as Buxton with less colorful language.

Twins star Byron Buxton did his best to shut down trade chatter last week, reiterating his longstanding stance that he’s not interested in waiving his no-trade clause.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers added Eric Lauer to their bullpen after he was DFA’d by the Toronto Blue Jays, few fans expected he’d be dishing out six scoreless innings against the Minnesota Twins a few weeks later.

Minneapolis – The Minnesota Twins have been a streaky team this year. They started the season 11-7, then went 5-21, 10-5, 7-12, and are now riding a five-game winning streak. Dividing their 79 games into five parts shows just how streaky this team has been this year. Fortunately, the Twins appear to be turning things around. Their lineup has a .285/.347/.
