Braves Top Twins 10-6 in Rain-Interrupted Game

The Atlanta Braves dominated the Minnesota Twins in a 10-6 victory on Monday, ending Twins pitcher Bailey Ober's streak of 11 consecutive quality starts. Ober struggled significantly, allowing nine runs in just two innings, including a three-run homer from Matt Olson and a two-run shot from Travis d'Arnaud. The game was interrupted by an 86-minute rain delay, during which the Braves maintained their momentum, with Max Fried securing the win by retiring 12 consecutive batters following the delay. Despite the loss, the Twins gained a half game on the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central standings due to the Guardians' doubleheader sweep by the Kansas City Royals. The Twins' offensive effort included a late-game rally, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Braves' early lead. This defeat marked a troubling trend for the Twins, who have now lost six of their last eight games.
