The Miami Marlins defeated the Minnesota Twins 4-1, handing the reeling Twins their fifth loss in six games and pushing them further from the AL wild-card race. Jonah Bride led the Marlins with a home run and contributed to a four-run second inning, supported by RBIs from Nick Fortes and Xavier Edwards. Despite scoring only once on an RBI single from Royce Lewis, the Twins struggled offensively, leaving ten runners on base and going 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position. The loss places Minnesota two games behind the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals for the final wild-card spots with only five games remaining in the regular season. Bailey Ober struggled on the mound for the Twins, allowing four runs and eight hits in five innings, marking a disappointing outing for a key pitcher. The Twins are now experiencing a significant slump, averaging just 2.75 runs over their last eight games.
