Randy Dobnak threw seven shutout innings against his former team. It was his longest MLB outing since September 2021 with the Twins and the first time in Dobnak's career he's thrown 7+ shutout innings. He now has a 1.04 ERA in 26 innings for the Royals.

Last night we saw the first triple of Royce Lewis' career. Tonight we saw Salvador Perez's first triple since 2022. (Perez's triple was a should-be double that Luke Keaschall misplayed in center field, but still.)

Twins placed Byron Buxton on the injured list with the same hip problem that's lingered for months. They called up Tristan Gray from Triple-A St. Paul to take his roster spot. Buxton played seven games between IL stints, hitting .160 and clearly looking compromised physically.

Twins GM Jeremy Zoll talked trade deadline last night and was much more forthcoming than expected, leaving no doubt they plan to be buyers. Here's everything Zoll said, what he chose not to say also revealed, and my takeaways from the lengthy Q&A session: www.aarongleeman.com/twins-gm-jer...

What a great call by Cory Provus on Royce Lewis' walk-off.

Royals made it official: Old friend Randy Dobnak is starting Wednesday vs. the Twins.

Wow. Royce Lewis walks it off with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 win and the Twins are back to .500 with five games left until the trade deadline.

Twins say Byron Buxton was removed from the game with right hip soreness. Same hip that has been bothering him, off and on, for most of the season.

Byron Buxton was removed from the game. Presumably an injury, but no word yet from the Twins.

Emmanuel Rodriguez ranked No. 4 on my midseason Twins top 20 prospects list: www.aarongleeman.com/twins-midsea...

Twins prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez (thumb) is starting a rehab assignment with Low-A Fort Myers. Rodriguez is coming back from surgery for a torn thumb ligament suffered on May 1 with Triple-A St. Paul.

Twins took care of business vs. a bad team, winning two out of three from the A's. They're off Monday, followed by a three-game series at Target Field vs. the last-place Royals. Twins are 53-54 and just one game from a playoff spot with six games left before the trade deadline.

I've seriously never seen anything like this. And the Twins have needed all the help they can get today.

In a season full of opponents playing absolutely terrible defense against the Twins, this A's team might be at the top (or bottom, I guess) of the list. Sloppy doesn't even begin to describe it. Just misplay after misplay after misplay, even on routine balls.
