Minnesota Twins Dominate Angels 12-3 in Series Opener

The Minnesota Twins dominated the Los Angeles Angels with a 12-3 victory, fueled by Royce Lewis's two home runs and four RBIs in his homecoming game. Simeon Woods Richardson pitched five innings, allowing three runs and striking out six, securing the win while the bullpen provided strong relief performances. The Twins capitalized on the Angels' defensive struggles, as Los Angeles committed four errors, including two by third baseman Yoan Moncada, which contributed to their defeat. Despite the Angels' pitcher Caden Dana striking out a career-high nine batters, the team struggled with control, walking five and surrendering five runs over 4 2/3 innings. The Twins improved to 4-0 against the Angels this season, outscoring them 33-7, with notable offensive contributions from Matt Wallner, Luke Keaschall, and James Outman. The series continues with Zebby Matthews starting for Minnesota and Kyle Hendricks for Los Angeles.
