After leading the American League Central for the majority of the season, the Minnesota Twins head into their Thursday night series finale against the host Houston Astros in the midst of a season-worst five-game losing streak and trailing the first-place Cleveland Guardians by four games.
Following a 5-3 loss to the Astros on Wednesday night, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli held a team meeting to try to ease the tension that has come with his team’s slide. His message: Relax and have fun and play "the freest baseball possible that we can."
Baldelli told the media, "One thing I’m not going to do is bury our group of players for the way that they’ve gone about their business, the way that they’ve prepared, the way that they show up here and play. Playing hard and playing good are two different things, and our guys absolutely do things exactly the way I would like to see it done.
