Minnesota Form & Recent Results
Minnesota heads into this matchup trying to stop a small skid, as they’ve dropped two straight games. Even with those recent losses, the Twins have still been playing fairly solid baseball overall, winning three of their last five before Saturday’s middle game of the series against the Angels. Those wins weren’t just against weak competition either, two came at home against the Guardians, and another was a big road win over the Yankees in the Bronx, showing they can handle tough opponents in different environments.
On Friday night, Minnesota came up just short in a 4–3 loss to the Angels at home. Left fielder Trevor Larnach was one of the brighter spots, going 2-for-4 and scoring a run, and as a team the Twins totaled 16 bases in the game. Offensively this season, Byron Buxton has been their main power threat, leading the team with 25 home runs, while Kody Clemens sits next with 16. When it comes to driving in runs, Josh Bell has been the most productive Twin, pacing the roster with 60 RBIs. Buxton has also been their most consistent hitter by average, leading the team at .271. Over their last five games, Minnesota has scored about four runs per game, and they’ll try to build on that production as they look to take down José Soriano and the Angels on Sunday. So far in July, the Twins have put together a 5–3 record, which suggests they’ve been trending in the right direction despite the current two-game dip.
Los Angeles Form & Recent Results
Los Angeles comes into this matchup feeling a little better after snapping back with a win, but the bigger picture lately has been uneven. They’re currently riding a one-game winning streak, yet they had lost three of their last five games leading into Saturday. Two of those defeats came on the road against the Rangers in Arlington, and the other was a loss at home to the Red Sox. That stretch has made it clear the Angels have been struggling to find consistency, especially when it comes to keeping momentum going from one series to the next.
