Twins Struggle, Jenkins Shines in Debut | Duluth News

The Twins fell 6-4 in their series opener against the White Sox, as Dean Kremer struggled through four innings, surrendering six runs. Despite a late rally that tied the game, Minnesota couldn’t capitalize on scoring chances or push across enough runs against the bullpen. Manager Derek Shelton criticized Kremer’s command and the offense’s inability to finish opportunities — a familiar pattern. But there was reason for optimism: rookie Walker Jenkins made his MLB debut with a hit and walk, impressing Shelton with his contact and discipline. Jenkins called the experience “an absolute blessing,” even amid the loss. The Twins look to bounce back tomorrow when Bailey Ober faces Erick Fedde, first pitch at 10 PM CT.
