This time against the worst team in baseball, the Chicago White Sox. The game ended after seven innings due to heavy rain, but even against a poor Chicago bullpen, I don’t think the Twins would have scraped across any runs.

On a dreary Thursday afternoon in Minneapolis, the Twins had a chance to build rare momentum and breathe life into a sluggish start to the season. Instead, a lifeless effort at the plate and shaky pitching left Target Field drenched in both rain and frustration.
