After finishing last week on a high note, the Twins decided to take that momentum and promptly lose six straight games, including four to the bottom-dwelling Chicago White Sox. Thankfully, it's mathematically impossible for the Twins to have their first 100-loss season since 2016, but they are well on their way to their worst season since that year. The Past Week on Twinkie Town: Elsewhere in Twins Territory: In the World of Baseball:

Ryan Jeffers left Friday night's game with a head injury, and the diagnosis has now gotten worse. What was originally called just a head contusion has turned worse for Ryan Jeffers. He now has a full-blown concussion and is being placed on the injured list. It was unlikely that Jeffers would have reached a new career-high in games played this season. He sits at 114 with the team having just 20 to go.

Getting Lopez back at the top of the rotation should only help the Twins' chances moving forward. The veteran righty will start Friday's opener against the Royals. After being swept by the cellar-dwelling White Sox, Minnesota's chances at climbing up the AL Central standings don't look good. The trade deadline fire sale might be the first sign that there will be significant changes this offseason.

Baldelli's comment came after a rough night for the Twins' pitching and defense. Although they jumped ahead early thanks to a leadoff triple from Byron Buxton and an RBI single by Trevor Larnach, that brief lead quickly vanished. Chicago's Andrew Benintendi erupted for two home runs and five RBIs, powering the White Sox to a third straight win. Simeon Woods Richardson allowed two earned runs over five innings but also committed a throwing error that helped Chicago take control.

These losses aren't even funny anymore. They're certainly not fun. Not only have the Twins now lost the season series to Chicago, they snapped the White Sox's 205-game losing streak when trailing after eight innings. Of course it's THIS team. On to the parody, and I don't mean this pretend masquerading as a ballclub. Man, it's a late one,The fall attendance in a downward run,'Cause we find the Minnesota Twins certainly done;The owner's a fool.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Andrew Benintendi went 4 for 5 with two homers and five RBIs as the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 12-3 on Tuesday night. Kyle Teel and Lenyn Sosa also homered and Brooks Baldwin had three hits for the White Sox, who have won three in a row. Davis Martin (6-9) won his third straight decision, giving up three runs on six hits in six innings.

It was back in 2021 that actor Kevin Costner famously emerged from the cornstalks at a specially constructed diamond at the "Field of Dreams" movie site and led the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees into the stadium for what turned out to be one of Major League Baseball's most memorable events. A year later, the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs visited Dyersville for another MLB matchup near the iconic field where the 1989 movie was filmed.
