Twins Start Season 0-3 After Loss to Cardinals

Bailey Ober's first start of the 2025 season mirrored his rough debut in 2024, as he allowed eight runs on eight hits, including two three-run home runs, in a 9-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Ober, who was reportedly battling illness leading up to the game, struggled with his performance and location, resulting in an early exit after just 2.2 innings. The Minnesota Twins, now 0-3 for the season, managed only five hits and had difficulty capitalizing with runners in scoring position. Despite an early lead from an RBI single by Byron Buxton, the Cardinals quickly took control and completed a series sweep. Randy Dobnak provided some relief, pitching 5.1 innings of one-run ball, but the damage was already done. The Twins will look to regroup in their next series against the Astros.
