Game Preview

The Minnesota Twins aim for consecutive victories against the league-leading Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night in Minneapolis, following a strong 7-2 win in the series opener on Monday.

This win came as a relief for the Twins, marking their first success post-All-Star break after two consecutive losses to the Milwaukee Brewers. Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers emphasized the collaborative effort needed to overcome Philadelphia’s pitching, particularly after the team managed three runs against Phillies starter Ranger Suarez. "The way to beat him is how we did it," Jeffers noted. "You’ve got to string together a few hits because you’re not going to hit three homers off him."

Key contributions came from Manuel Margot and Willi Castro, each driving in two runs, while Carlos Santana and Max Kepler each added an RBI. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli praised starting pitcher Bailey Ober for exceeding expectations with seven impressive innings, despite a shaky start.

On the mound for the Phillies in the next game will be ace Zack Wheeler (10-4, 2.70 ERA), who was selected as an All-Star for the second time this year but did not play in the game. Wheeler’s last outing was a success, holding the Los Angeles Dodgers to one run over five innings on July 9. This will be Wheeler’s first career start against the Twins, and he holds a 3.80 ERA in 45 career interleague starts.

Opposing him will be the Twins’ Simeon Woods Richardson (3-1, 3.51 ERA), who is looking to turn three recent no-decisions into a win. In his last appearance, Woods Richardson allowed two runs in 4 1/3 innings against the San Francisco Giants on July 13. This upcoming start will be his first against the Phillies.
