Twins Pitching Staff Struggles Amid Worst June Stretch Since 2013

News summary

The Minnesota Twins are struggling with a severe pitching slump, having lost 11 of their last 12 games, with their pitching staff allowing high run totals and posting a league-worst earned-run average in June. The problems have been exacerbated by injuries to key starters Pablo López and Zebby Matthews, who were instrumental in the team's earlier success. Pitching coach Pete Maki convened a meeting to address the issues, highlighting concerns such as increased walks and inconsistent performances despite the staff's talent. Starter Chris Paddack acknowledged the team's difficulties but emphasized trust and belief among pitchers to turn things around. Statistical analysis reveals the Twins have allowed the second-most runs in a 17-game span in team history and have a significantly worse ERA compared to other MLB teams since June 5. While the pitching woes dominate headlines, there is also discussion about the Twins needing to redefine their offensive strategy to salvage the season.
