The Minnesota Twins have been displaying a strong offensive and pitching performance in their last 12 games, making it a challenging task for any opposing team to compete against them. The Twins have showcased their ability to win high-scoring matchups as well as pitchers' duels, demonstrating their versatility on the field. In the upcoming series finale, the Boston Red Sox will be facing the formidable Twins' ace, Joe Ryan, known for his ability to generate swings and misses, which could prove advantageous in this matchup.
