Twins Extend Winning Streak to Eight Games, Rise Above .500

The Minnesota Twins have extended their winning streak to eight games, reaching above .500 for the first time this season with a 21-20 record. Their latest victory came in a dramatic 10-inning walk-off win against the San Francisco Giants, highlighted by DaShawn Keirsey Jr.'s first career walk-off hit, which snapped his 0-for-17 stretch. The team demonstrated resilience throughout the game, overcoming early deficits and benefiting from key contributions including a two-run homer by Brooks Lee and an RBI single from Royce Lewis, who ended a prolonged hitless streak. Starter Pablo López pitched six innings, allowing four runs, and relievers Jhoan Duran and others helped secure the win, with Duran earning his first win of the season. The Twins now prepare for a road trip starting with a series against the Baltimore Orioles, aiming to continue their momentum. These performances signal a potential turning point for the Twins after a slow start to the season.
