Why this matters in The Minneapolis
The Twins' loss to the Rockies is a setback for the local team, which had been looking to build momentum at home. With the series finale coming up on Sunday, the Twins will be looking to bounce back and split the series. The matchup between Rockies RHP Ryan Feltner and Twins LHP Connor Prielipp will be one to watch, as both pitchers have been working to find their rhythm this season. For Twins fans, a win on Sunday would be a welcome boost, especially after a thrilling but ultimately disappointing finish on Saturday, with Trevor Larnach's three-run double in the ninth falling just short. The energy at the ballpark on Sunday will likely be electric, as the Twins look to redeem themselves in front of their hometown crowd.
