The Minnesota Twins faced a disappointing defeat against the Atlanta Braves, losing 6-2 in a game that extended their losing streak against the Braves to eleven games. Despite loading the bases twice, the Twins went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position, following a previous 0-for-8 performance. Rookie Luke Keaschall, in his third big-league game, struggled alongside his teammates. Joe Ryan took the mound for the Twins but allowed three home runs, contributing to the blowout loss.

Byron Buxton managed to hit the Twins' only other run of the game with a leadoff home run, marking his first MLB home run in his home state. The Twins will have a chance to bounce back as they head into a six-game homestand, starting with a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.
