Twins' Streak Ends in Crushing Loss | Minnesota Twins News

The Minnesota Twins’ five-game winning streak ended in humiliating fashion against the Chicago Cubs, as they were utterly outplayed and outscored in a game that spiraled out of control early. Pitcher Zebby Matthews struggled mightily, surrendering nine hits and ten runs in his shortest outing of the season while missing key two-strike pitches. Defense collapsed in the third inning when a routine liner turned into three runs after a costly misplay. Offensively, the Twins couldn’t get anything going against Shota Imanaga’s stellar seven-inning shutout performance. Travis Adams pitched three innings to preserve the bullpen, but it wasn’t enough. Manager Derek Shelton called it a “bad day” and urged the team to “flush it and move on” as they prepare for the next series.
