Braves Rally to Beat Twins in Series Opener

The Atlanta Braves rallied from a four-run deficit to defeat the Minnesota Twins in the opening game of their three-game series at Truist Park, with a total of 10 runs scored. Both teams started the matchup with poor records—Braves at 5-13 and Twins at 7-12—each ranking second-worst in their leagues. Notable moments included J. Kelenic's solo home run and an eighth-inning surge by O. Albies, M. Harris II, and D. Baldwin that secured the Braves' comeback. Starting pitchers Chris Paddack and Bryce Elder, both seeking their first wins, continued their season-long search for consistency. The Braves extended their recent dominance over the Twins, having swept them in the previous two series. This win may mark a potential turnaround for Atlanta, while the Twins' struggles on the road continue.
