2023 Twins Game Logs

Game 22: Nationals at Twins

16 Comments

All of a sudden the Twins are flirting with .500 after winning just one of their last seven games.

This Nationals series has been an exercise in frustration thus far.  It doesn't seem like it should be so hard to beat Washington, but here we are. Can we chalk this up to the cold weather? Is it warmer today?  Are there any other straws around that I can grasp?

Bailey Ober gets his first start of the year today, going against Patrick Corbin, who hasn't had a great start to the season. Ober has 4 starts at AAA and has been stingy with hits, walks, and runs allowed.
