Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Tristan Gray Appreciation Post” Edition
Get on the bandwagon before it gets too full!
TORONTO, CANADA - APRIL 12: Tristan Gray #4 of the Minnesota Twins hits a three-run home run in the second inning of their MLB game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on April 12, 2026 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Cole Burston/Getty Images) | Getty Images The “American League-leading” Minnesota Twins are 9-7 after two straight series wins over the Tigers and the Blue Jays. It’s been certainly impressive to see the team fight back after three straight series losses, and doing so without needing the heroics of Byron Buxton or Luke Keaschall.
Instead, infielder Tristan Gray has been a solid contributor. After hitting his first career grand slam against the Rays last week, he had another nice game yesterday against the Blue Jays, with a three-run homer. However, it can’t be all sunshine and daisies, as Royce Lewis has now hit the 10-day IL with a left knee sprain.
The Red Sox and the Reds are coming to Target Field this week, and the Twins will hope to continue the good vibes at home. The Past Week on Twinkie Town: Check out The Feed , where you can add your discussions about the Twins! We’re starting a new segment called Daily Questions !
