The Minnesota Twins are rewriting their narrative with one of the hottest streaks Major League Baseball has seen in recent memory. What once seemed like a lost season at 7-15 has now transformed into a bold declaration of resurgence, as the Twins rolled to their 13th consecutive win Saturday night with a commanding 7-0 shutout against the Brewers in Milwaukee. They now stand at 26-20, flipping their early-season misfortunes into one of the most impressive stories in baseball.
Twins break records and Brewers' spirits with another shutout and their 13th straight victory
This victory wasn’t just another win. It marked the team’s third consecutive shutout, and with it, the Twins extended a franchise-record scoreless streak to 33 innings — breaking a 21-year-old mark. “Everything is coming up roses for the Twins these days,” and it’s hard to argue otherwise.
The Twins’ success has largely been built on the shoulders of their starters, who have been lights-out since early April. Following stellar outings by Joe Ryan and Chris Paddack, Pablo López took the baton and delivered another gem — six scoreless innings, six strikeouts, two hits allowed. Since the team’s third rotation cycle began, no club has received better output from its starters.
Minnesota’s bullpen has also risen to the occasion. Justin Topa, Jorge Alcala, and Kody Funderburk delivered clean frames to seal the shutout. With this effort, the Twins joined the Padres as the only teams to throw three straight shutouts this season — the first time Minnesota has accomplished that feat since July 2004.
The offense has been just as electric, even without big names like Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton, and Matt Wallner. Ryan Jeffers set the tone early with a 420-foot homer and ended the night with four hits. The first six hitters — Trevor Larnach, Jeffers, Brooks Lee, Ty France, Kody Clemens, and Royce Lewis — combined to go 15-for-27, each collecting multiple hits.
Clemens continued his tear with another home run, while Royce Lewis doubled for his first extra-base hit of the season. Christian Vazquez, Ty France, and Brooks Lee added timely RBIs as the Twins scored in each of the first six innings — a feat they hadn’t achieved since 2017.
And even when the Brewers loaded the bases in the seventh, Topa shut the door, preserving the shutout with poise.
With Zebby Matthews set to make his season debut in the series finale, the Twins now eye a 14th straight win — and with the way they’re rolling, who’s betting against them?
