The Minnesota Twins' losing streak extended to four games after a 5-1 defeat by the Atlanta Braves, who completed a three-game sweep. The game was a tight pitchers' duel until the seventh inning when the Braves broke a tie with a four-run surge. Atlanta, now 73-60, is bolstered by recent wins, including a 4-2 victory over the Washington Nationals where Travis d’Arnaud hit a tiebreaking RBI single. Meanwhile, the Nationals anticipate the debut of top prospect Dylan Crews and look to end their series with the Braves on a high note. Both teams have notable performances, with the Twins struggling and the Braves maintaining a strong position in the NL standings.
