Once again it was a missed chance to win a series against a team on track to play October baseball after taking the first game, continuing to add to the frustration of the 2024 Diamondbacks. With the St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, and New York Mets on a strong run, they’re quickly losing ground in the Wild Card race. Against teams with a winning record, they have won only two of eight series and an overall record of 16-25.
The Twins jumped all over Jordan Montgomery, with five hits against the first eight hitters. They loaded the bases with no outs to start the second. Montgomery punched out the No. 9 hitter, Kyle Farmer, to set himself up in a situation where a double play could have allowed him to escape the inning with no damage. He got his ground ball, but it was hit too deep in the hole at short for Geraldo Perdomo to make a play on.
