Twins’ Bullpen Strikes Again, Deepening Dodgers’ Mysterious Slump

But in a 10-7 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, even they couldn’t have foreseen the shockingly sloppy pitching that doomed them late.
In the sixth and seventh innings at Dodger Stadium, the Twins scored six runs without hardly even needing to swing. Over the two innings, Minnesota managed only two hits. But on a night that one Dodger reliever after the next struggled to find the strike zone, a parade of walks (plus one glaring defensive error) kept them circling the bases, turning what had been a tie score into one of the Dodgers’ most dismal defeats of the season.
