The Minnesota Twins have officially been eliminated from playoff contention following a disappointing 7-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Just a month ago, they seemed poised for postseason play, having won the American League Central division the previous year.
Despite a strong start to the season, the Twins faltered in August, leaving them unable to capitalize on a slim chance for a wild-card spot. The game saw Orioles pitcher Cade Povich, a former Twins prospect, dominate, while the Twins' offense struggled until the ninth inning.
As their season comes to a close with only two games remaining, the Twins must reflect on a campaign that ended far from their expectations.
