The Twins have their collective backs up against the wall. They just completed a five-game series against the Guardians and anything short of winning three of five would have put them in a precarious situation for the rest of the season. They did not win three of five. They won one of five. Now they’re left with 15 games to play and are seven games out with two teams to leapfrog in the standings without any more head-to-head matchups remaining against the Guardians. They do have six more against the White Sox, so they could make up some ground there, but it may not matter.
