Minnesota Twins lose series opener to Detroit Tigers following recent roster adjustments

The Minnesota Twins began their three-game series against the Detroit Tigers with a loss at Target Field on Monday. Joe Ryan returned from the injured list for the outing, though the team enters the week eight games below.500. The Twins recorded a 3-3 record over the previous week, taking two of three from the Detroit Tigers before dropping two of three games to the Chicago White Sox. They currently sit 4.5 games outside the final American League wild card position. Outside of the major league club, the St. Paul Saints recently set an International League record for home runs in a single season. The team now turns its attention to the potential MiLB record for total home runs.
