Freeman and Williams have Rams on the run

Kyren Williams was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Last season, Williams had a total of 35 carries for 139 yards as he shared the backfield with a plethora of other running backs. The second-year running back out of Notre Dame is now at the head of the class when it comes to running the football for the Rams. It’s easy to see why. Williams combines…

✨️THE CHAYNEMATIC GALA 2024✨️

PART I: WATER

this past month i've been imagining what various OCs of mine-- some from a DECADE ago, some of which i've never talked about publicly-- would look like in MET gala style outfits! the theme was THE FOUR ELEMENTS and characters were sorted into whichever element i felt suited them best.

water | air | earth | fire

director's commentary below the cut!

Zeya Kade (The Gemini Heist). Zeya's look was fun because i didn't want to put her in a dress, and kept seeing all these cool ceramic corsets. the water theme is a bit more subtle with her, though. i wanted something moon-related as the moon represents mystery and Zeya has that mysterious air about her. the pattern on her corset is not marble, but ocean waves 🥲

Maeve Santana O'Reilly & Kitty Royce (UnSuper Squad). Maeve's look is just a simple military style jacket embedded with seashells; she's a pretty lowkey person stylistically but would still be faithful to a theme. her girlfriend Kitty has a cute, sparkly, wave-inspired two piece set accented with pearls. they're not the type of couple to fully match but they do complement each other nicely.

Marie-Claude Prince (Girls With White Teeth). MC is the daughter of a model and an online influencer so you bet she had to serve at this gala. she's wearing a literal mermaid dress, with a seashell bra and iridescent scale tail. while pretty, this looks incredibly impractical to walk around in.

Mila Freeman (Girls With White Teeth). Mila had to be in something cute, because she is cute. she's giving ocean princess in her little sparkly dress adorned in seashells, pearls, and glistening starfish. and perhaps her earrings whisper compliments in her ears like in Aquamarine (2006) bc god knows she needs it.

Blanche Saint-Pierre (Aurora Hearts: Mirage). Blanche is a very old OC (lowkey an Elsa Frozen ripoff lol) that i repurposed for a friend's universe. naturally i put her in an ice queen outfit.

Emma Chakravarty (Strangewayes Library of the Arcane). Emma is a grad student in magical theory. she's a bit of a refined girlie and i wanted to give her something simple but elegant, so a famous painting on her skirt felt like the move.

[ad_1] Kyren Williams was masterful in his return from IR. (Photo by Jordon Kelly/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) (Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)Los Angeles Rams @ Arizona CardinalsKyren Williams had a monster game while finishing as this week’s top fantasy back during his return from IR. He gave way to Royce Freeman during a second-quarter touchdown drive but had a career-high 181 yards midway through the third quarter anyway. Williams’ 56-yard run in the third quarter was the longest play by the Rams this season, and his day could’ve been even bigger if not for the lopsided score. Despite sitting much of the fourth quarter (there was a Zach Evans sighting!), Williams became the first player since Week 1 in 2017 to record 125+ rushing yards, 50+ receiving yards and two touchdown catches. Williams is at worst a top-10 fantasy back moving forward given his workload, although he faces a couple of tougher matchups (Cle, @Bal) before his schedule eases up in the fantasy playoffs.Matthew Stafford entered with the lowest completion percentage over expectation in the league this season, but posted a CPOE (+12.8) in the 92nd percentile Sunday. He had a season-high three TD passes by halftime, finishing with four. The Rams’ offense looked good while finally healthy together, but Los Angeles also undoubtedly benefited from facing Arizona’s defense.Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua somehow finished fourth and fifth, respectively, in receiving on the Rams this week, with Kupp needing his ankle re-taped after the first drive. Game script hurt the LA receivers, but Nacua and Kupp are both playing through injuries. Meanwhile, the Rams were the only team in the NFL without a tight end touchdown before Tyler Higbee scored two in the first half.Kyler Murray was quiet after an early TD run, but garbage time helped him finish as a top-10 fantasy QB anyway this week. It was a clear step back for Murray, who attempted just one run. He gets a matchup in Pittsburgh and then a bye before facing three defenses with high opponent PROE in the fantasy playoffs.Marquise Brown saw 12 targets while playing through a painful heel injury, while Trey McBride continued to see elite usage as well. Greg Dortch made a sick one-handed TD catch late in the game and followed it up with an equally impressive celebration down 37-14.The Cardinals executed a successful fake punt early in the second half but then faced a third-and-37 later that same drive.Matt Prater nailed a 56-yard field goal late in the second quarter, but a holding penalty ended the half instead.The Eagles won 37-34 in an overtime classic that featured this week’s top two fantasy quarterbacks despite rainy conditions.Jalen Hurts saw a career-high 57% pressure rate in the first half when Buffalo played 100% zone defense. He was 3-of-11 for 33 yards with a 0:1 TD:INT ratio at halftime but threw three touchdowns over four passes during one stretch in the second half. Hurts totaled five touchdowns in the monster performance and became the first QB in NFL history to record three straight seasons with 10+ rushing scores.D’Andre Swift had just seven rushing yards at halftime and was off the field for stretches of this game, but he ultimately finished with his usual rushing workload (albeit with just one target). His fantasy value would be a lot different if Hurts didn’t take all the goal-line scores.After recording 125+ receiving yards in an NFL-record six straight games, A.J. Brown has averaged just 27 yards over the last three. Brown didn’t see his first target until 2:57 was remaining in the first half. Good luck to San Francisco’s secondary in Week 13.The Eagles hadn’t allowed a quarterback to rush for a touchdown this season, but Josh Allen ran in two Sunday. He led Buffalo in rushing while throwing an interception for the eighth consecutive game. Allen did everything he could to win Sunday, but fell to 0-6 in overtime during his career.Gabe Davis got Buffalo’s game ball last week despite seeing no targets but saw a team-high 12 on Sunday. He was a top-10 fantasy WR this week, but it could have been much more. Allen missed Davis for a possible third-quarter TD, and they couldn’t connect while open for a game-winning score in overtime.The Bills seemingly got the short end of every shaky call, drawing a whopping 10 penalties in the first half.James Cook suffered a bad drop on a would-be 30-yard touchdown.This marked the fourth straight game Philadelphia has been outgained (and trailed at halftime) yet won, while Buffalo fell to 1-5 on the road this season.Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston TexansTrevor Lawrence impressed while throwing an NFL-high 364 yards this week. He got 13.7 YPA with a TD run in the first half and could’ve easily had two more touchdown passes. Lawrence’s lone interception came during a play in which Evan Engram was clearly held, and the QB appears to be over his knee injury. Lawrence had the most passes for 40+ yards (four) in a game (midway through the third quarter) since 2020 during the important win.Calvin Ridley was catchless in the first half and didn’t see his first target until a ball went just off his hands in the end zone with 2:28 left in the second quarter; a theme of his season. But he had a big second half, finishing as a top-10 WR this week while recording an Octopus in the third quarter.Travis Etienne gave way to D’Ernest Johnson for stretches but finished with 26 opportunities. He managed just 2.8 YPC and hasn’t scored a rushing touchdown in four straight games after recording six over his previous three.C.J. Stroud was a top-five fantasy QB while running for more yards than Devin Singletary and Dameon Pierce combined, including a score. The rookie continues to impress and might have led Houston to victory Sunday if Ka’imi Fairbairn weren’t on IR.Tank Dell had an awesome 58-yard catch in the first quarter nullified by an illegal shift penalty and another catch robbed by referees. Dell would later score, but his day could’ve been even bigger.Nico Collins (who led Houston in first-read target percentage last week) and Dell are both alphas.Matt Ammendola missed two field goals, although the second was a 58-yarder that doinked.Kansas City Chiefs @ Las Vegas RaidersIsiah Pacheco ran in two touchdowns, saw five targets and finished as a top-five fantasy back.Patrick Mahomes should’ve had a third touchdown pass, but the refs incorrectly ruled Pacheco short of the end zone. Andy Reid didn’t challenge the play with it being first-and-goal, and Pacheco punched in the score the next play.Rashee Rice led Kansas City and set career highs in targets (10), catches (eight) and receiving yards (107) while catching a touchdown. It was an especially impressive performance considering Nate Hobbs (who defends the slot) is Las Vegas’ best corner. Rice ran the most routes on KC this week and became the first Chiefs’ WR to gain 30+ receiving yards over expectation this season. The rookie could be a real fantasy difference-maker down the stretch.The Chiefs scored their first points in the second half since Oct. 22.Aidan O’Connell looked good during the first half, when the Raiders led 14-0 after Josh Jacobs’ long TD run, out-gaining KC 221-13 yards. It wouldn’t continue, as Las Vegas would score just three points over the final 48 minutes.Jakobi Meyers had his best game in weeks and caught a touchdown, benefitting from L’Jarius Sneed shadowing Davante Adams.Daniel Carlson had made 45 straight field goals inside 40 yards before missing a 30-yarder Sunday.New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta FalconsDesmond Ridder threw a couple of ugly picks but got 8.0 YPA and improved to 32-1 at home since high school. He entered averaging more than twice as many fantasy points at home and is a better option than Taylor Heinicke.Bijan Robinson was terrific with 22 opportunities, running in a touchdown and catching another. The rookie has three rushing TDs over the past four games after recording zero over his first seven. Hopefully, there’s no turning back now.Chris Olave had a monster first half (8-7-114) but left after suffering a concussion while attempting to pull down a long catch early in the third quarter. He was showing the best rapport with Derek Carr he had all season before departing, and New Orleans is suddenly super thin at WR with Rashid Shaheed also exiting Sunday’s game (and with Michael Thomas going on IR). Juwan Johnson could see more targets.Jessie Bates forced a fumble and recorded a pick 6, as Carr’s red-zone struggles continued.Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Indianapolis ColtsJonathan Taylor had two touchdown runs against a Tampa Bay defense that hadn’t allowed any to the position all season. He scored the most fantasy points against a Buccaneers defense that had been shutting down running backs.Michael Pittman and Josh Downs both saw 13 targets against a pass-funnel Tampa Bay defense, but the former was a lot more productive. Still, it’s encouraging usage for Downs, who seemingly benefited from Indianapolis’ bye week to get his knee healthier.Rachaad White saw a season-low two targets, but reached 100 rushing yards for the first time this year.Mike Evans caught two touchdowns, while Chris Godwin suffered his first drop of the season.Baker Mayfield was injured on a sneak at the goal line during the opening drive but returned the next series. He’s set for an MRI on Monday.Todd Bowles oddly decided not to use his two remaining timeouts on a second down with 1:24 left in the game.Baltimore Ravens @ Los Angeles ChargersLamar Jackson got 5.5 YPA with modest fantasy production during his first game without Mark Andrews, but Baltimore forced four turnovers during the Ravens’ win Sunday night.Keaton Mitchell and Gus Edwards split work evenly, with the rookie’s YPC (7.1) nearly twice as high (3.3).Zay Flowers led Baltimore in targets while catching and running in a touchdown Sunday night. Fantasy managers appreciated the rookie not going down at the one-yard line late.Keenan Allen led the league with 16 targets and is up to 35 catches over his last three games. He also executed a nice trick play to pick up a third-and-17.Austin Ekeler had a tough matchup but lost a fumble for the second straight game and continues to look like he’s playing injured.Justin Tucker suffered his first missed field goal inside 50 yards this year, making Younghoe Koo the NFL’s all-time FG percentage leader.The Chargers lost as many fumbles Sunday night (three) as they had previously all year.The Ravens’ defense has recorded the most sacks and is allowing the fewest yards per play this season.Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati BengalsThe Steelers topped 400 yards on offense for the first time in 59 games while also outgaining their opponent for the first time all season in Pittsburgh’s first game since OC Matt Canada was fired.Kenny Pickett has just one touchdown pass since Oct. 8 (Week 5) but got season highs in passing yards (278) and YPA (8.5). Sunday was a positive step, but this is still a passing offense that’s limited in fantasy upside. Pickett entered with the fewest passing TDs (six) by a team’s starting QB over its first 10 games in a season in more than a decade.Speculation had Jaylen Warren taking over Pittsburgh’s backfield, but he ended up losing a fumble during one of his worst fantasy games of the year. Najee Harris was more effective on two more carries, including punching in a goal-line score.George Pickens didn’t see a considerable change in role under the new OC, while a healthy Pat Freiermuth led Pittsburgh in targets, catches and receiving yards.Jake Browning, who threw a mere 91 touchdowns during his senior year in high school (but didn’t follow that up in college), was passable while not getting any help whatsoever from his running game (2.3 YPC).Ja’Marr Chase had two separate catches off deflections and another while holding his mouthguard but clearly missed Joe Burrow.The Bengals had won an NFL-high 19 straight games when leading at halftime before Sunday.Cleveland Browns @ Denver BroncosRussell Wilson had his most rushing attempts (11) since 2017 and did enough to help Denver win its fifth straight game after starting the season 1-5.Javonte Williams saw 24 opportunities but lost a goal-line TD to Samaje Perine while getting checked on the sideline for a neck injury during the opening drive. Williams’ workload will lead to big fantasy games in future easier matchups.The Broncos had twice as many rushing scores (two) over the first 20 minutes (against a dominant defense) than they had previously all season.Courtland Sutton had a near TD in the fourth quarter, but the ball bounced off his hands in the end zone.Dorian Thompson-Robinson left after taking a huge hit that drew a flag at the end of the third quarter, while Myles Garrett heard something pop in his shoulder and had his arm in a sling after the game. Amari Cooper also exited with a rib injury during a disastrous day for Cleveland.New England Patriots @ New York GiantsTommy DeVito lost a fumble on the opening drive, but was by far the best quarterback involved in this matchup (and he’s taken 26 sacks over the last three-plus games!).Jalin Hyatt can play. The rookie led the Giants in receiving Sunday when he made multiple impressive catches downfield. Hyatt is the most intriguing long-term WR on New York’s roster.Mac Jones had two picks that easily could’ve been four in the first half and was benched for Bailey Zappe in the second. Zappe promptly led New England on a touchdown drive, but he was fortunate one pass wasn’t a pick 6. He did nothing else afterward. Both quarterbacks’ CPOE were in the bottom-eighth percentile.This game looked destined for overtime, but Chad Ryland shanked a 35-yard field goal with six seconds left.Carolina Panthers @ Tennessee TitansBryce Young struggled yet again, while Chuba Hubbard had his best fantasy game in weeks despite seeing fewer carries than Miles Sanders in a tough matchup.Derrick Henry had half as many TD runs (two) in the first half as he had all season, although that included just 24 rushing yards. The scores got it done, but Henry managed a modest 76 rushing yards (after a late 20-yard run) in a highly favorable matchup. He’s unlikely to go on a late-season tear like we’ve seen before.The Titans are 4-0 when playing in Tennessee this season. [ad_2] Source link

UPDATE: 8:55 a.m. Sunday Here’s a few notes to start the morning. Starting with Green Bay, which will have running back Aaron Jones today against the motley Denver defense. Even with a dicey hamstring, Jones is a must start. Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson has been cleared to play against Indianapolis. But because he’s nursing an injured shoulder, you might be better off grabbing another QB off the waiver wires. The Rams have clarified their running position. It will be Royce Freeman and Darrell Henderson, not Zach Evans, getting the bulk of carries today … so now Evans is a Really, Really, Really Deep Sleeper, I guess. Ruled out today, along with nearly all of the Patriots, is New England wideout Juju Smith-Shuster. UPDATE: 11:02 p.m. Saturday There’s a little more clarity about the San Francisco offense that the Vikings will be meeting Monday night. 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey returned to practice on Saturday, but he’s still uncertain to play. The outlook is grimmer for WR Deebo Samuel, as ESPN is reporting he has a fracture in his shoulder and could be sidelined a few weeks. In other news Saturday night, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is now considered very doubtful to play this week, and Rams RB Kyren Williams has been placed on injured reserve, which means he’ll be out until at least Week 12. We’ll be back in the morning with the early-game inactive lists. UPDATE: 2:35 p.m. Saturday Not a lot of fantasy news this afternoon. The most noteworthy note is that Las Vegas quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will miss tomorrow’s game in Chicago, making the bye week’s depleted pool of adequate QBs even shallower. Notable players added to the out list include Rams RB Kyren Williams, Detroit WR Marvin Jones and Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth. Two players will be returning to the field this week: Pittsburgh wideout Diontae Johnson and Miami running back Jeff Wilson have been cleared to play tomorrow.. Seattle WR D.K. Metcalf is said to be a game-time decision for the Seahawks’ late afternoon matchup with Arizona. As for news of more local interest, the Vikings’ opponent Monday night, San Francisco, is mum today on the status of star RB Christian McCaffrey and WR Deebo Samuel. ORIGINAL POST: noon Wednesday There are few moments more painful in fantasy football than when teams employing a one-quarterback strategy watch their quarterback go down. Such a tragedy struck The Loop last week when our solo QB, Chicago’s Justin Fields, dislocated his thumb against the Vikings. It was the latest setback of Fields’ hot-cold season, knocking him out for this week and some time beyond. It left our roster QB-free. And if you think there are a bunch of replacement options as we head into Week 7, you’d be mistaken. This is the biggest bye week of the year, with the Bengals, Cowboys, Titans, Jets, Panthers and Texans idle. So lots of fantasy mavens will be desperate for a quarterback, and the pickings are mighty slim. In our league, this would be the less-than-magnificent seven best options for a quick QB replacement for this week: Geno Smith (Seahawks vs. Cardinals) – Clearly The Loop’s best option. Though the veteran has only five TD passes in five games, he is averaging about 234 yards per game. And he’s coming off a nice 323-yard effort in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, OHIO – OCTOBER 15: Geno Smith #7 of the Seattle Seahawks slides while under pressure by Mike Hilton #21 of the Cincinnati Bengals during the fourth quarter at Paycor Stadium on October 15, 2023 in Cincinnati, Ohio. (Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images) Baker Mayfield (Buccaneers vs. Falcons) – He’s hurt, and he admits “I sucked” last week against Detroit. But the former insurance pitchman is averaging a little over 200 yards, has thrown for seven 7 TDs and has a nice set of receivers. TAMPA, FLORIDA – OCTOBER 15: Baker Mayfield #6 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers attempts a pass during the first quarter against the Detroit Lions at Raymond James Stadium on October 15, 2023 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images) Daniel Jones (Giants vs. Commanders) – Tyrod Taylor looked better than him last week in Buffalo when Jones was out with a neck injury. And Jones has many more sacks (28) than touchdown passes (3). But he is, by far, the best runner of this bunch. MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA – OCTOBER 08: Daniel Jones #8 of the New York Giants is tackled against the Miami Dolphins during the second quarter at Hard Rock Stadium on October 08, 2023 in Miami Gardens, Florida. (Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images) Joshua Dobbs (Cardinals vs. Seahawks) – He and the Cards have been better than expected, though their 1-5 record is not. Dobbs has averaged about 200 yards and a TD per game, but he’ll be on the road against an improved Seattle defense. INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA – OCTOBER 15: Joshua Dobbs #9 of the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium on October 15, 2023 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) Kenny Pickett (Steelers vs. Rams) – He’s off to a poor start, with barely 200 per game and only 5 TDs in six games. And he’ll be dealing with a decent Los Angeles defense while having his hands tied by Matt Canada’s putrid excuse for an offensive game plan.

(Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty Images) Derek Carr (Saints vs. Jaguars) – The veteran is still.not 100 percent because of a shoulder injury, though he has passed for about 1,300 yards and 5 TDs. But he rarely runs, and he should be doing better with weapons such as Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave and Michael Thomas.

(Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images) Desmond Ridder (Falcons vs. Buccaneers) – His numbers aren’t terrible (1,300 yards, 6 TD passes, 2 TD runs), but he WAS terrible against Washington. His three game-killing interceptions were progressively uglier against a defense not as good as Tampa Bay’s.

Cox/Getty Images) Matchup game Miami’s run defense is nothing special, so Philly’s D’Andre Swift could thrive in their Sunday night showdown. … Cleveland RB Jerome Ford finished strong and will continue to run free against the Colts. … HIs teammate, WR Amari Cooper, is on a hot streak that will be extended through Indianapolis. … We’ve been waiting for Chiefs WR Rashee Rice to have his breakout game, and it might come against the underwhelming Chargers defense. … We expect rebound weeks from Green Bay QB Jordan Love and WR Christian Watson against the motley Denver defense. … And 49ers injuries make WR Brandon Aiyuk and QB Brock Purdy great starting options against the Vikings.

(Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images) Sitting stars We’ve been a bit disappointed so far by Saints RB Alvin Kamara, and he might be held in check again by the Jaguars. … The Vikings’ Alexander Mattison will have trouble running for much against the 49ers’ defense. … The Browns’ impressive defense will shut down both Colts RBs, Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss. … Miami RB Raheem Mostert will slow down in Philadelphia against the best defense the Dolphins have faced. … With Justin Fields out, you might want to bench D.J. Moore vs. the Raiders. … They’ve been great so far, but it could be an off week for two rookie standouts: Rams WR Puka Nacua vs. Pittsburgh and Detroit tight end Sam LaPorta against Baltimore. … And as bad as the Patriots’ offense has been, you should start nobody except RB Rhamondre Stevenson against Buffalo.

More on that later. … Niners WR Deebo Samuel also left with injury and could miss more time. … A large number of quarterbacks are nursing ailments of varying degrees (Jacksonville’ Trevor Lawrence Cleveland’s Deshaun Watson, Vegas’ Jimmy Garoppolo) … Detroit RB David Montgomery will be sidelined at least a couple weeks because of a rib injury, while Buffalo RB Damien Harris was carted off the field with a neck injury and will be out longer., … Other prominent players who are questionable include Packers RB Aaron Jones and Detroit RB Jahmyr GIbbs.

(Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images) The deepest sleepers If Christian McCaffrey is out Monday night, the two guys who will fill the void against the VIkings are Elijah Mitchell, who is likely already taken in your league, and Jordan Mason, who is not. Mason ran five times for 27 yards and a touchdown after CMC went out. The second-year free agent from Georgia Tech has mostly been a special teamer and has but 64 career carries. But he has averaged nearly six yards per attempt and already has three TDs. … If you want to take a shot on someone with even less of a resume, try Rams RB Zach Evans. He has only four carries this season, but he might be No. 1 this week if Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers are both out.

Twins Crush Tribe 20-6!

Twins 20 Indians 6 W-Lopez (10-7) L-Giolito (7-12)

The Minnesota Twins have held the Central Division lead all season long. The last series between the two top teams in the division started tonight with the Twins battling the Indians. The Twins struck first in the first as Jorge Polanco smoked a Lucas Giolito fastball out to right-center for a solo homer. The Twins quickly loaded up the bases in the second frame. Jorge Polanco drew a bases loaded walk to double the Twins lead. The next batter, Royce Lewis blasted a Lucas Giolito fastball out to left for another grand slam. The Twins had a six-run lead and got back to work in the third. Carlos Correa smacked a Giolito fastball out to right for a solo shot. Matt Wallner singled and Ryan Jeffers doubled him home. Willi Castro hit a sac fly to left and the Twins lead grew to nine. The Indians answered in the bottom of the third as Steven Kwan singled and Jose Ramirez tripled him home. Cleveland got on the board, but Minnesota got back to work in the sixth. The Twins loaded the bases and Royce Lewis knocked in a pair with a single to center. Later in the inning, Carlos Correa and Matt Wallner singled home runs as the blowout continued. The Twins added on in the seventh when Joey Gallo took David Fry deep for a two-run home run. Kyle Farmer did him one better with a three-run homer and the Twins continued. The Indians got one back on a Tyler Freeman solo home run in the bottom of the seventh. Cleveland added one more run and got within fifteen heading into the eighth inning. Matt Wallner added a two-run homer in the ninth as the Twins reached twenty runs. The Indians got a few runs back in the ninth, but Willi Castro eventually got out of the inning. The Twins picked up a convincing win in Cleveland tonight.

-Final Thoughts- Pablo Lopez had lots of traffic, but they didn't score. He went six innings and allowed a run on eight hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Brent Headrick gave up two runs in an inning-plus of work, Dylan Floro got out of the eighth, and Willi Castro allowed three runs in the ninth. Jorge Polanco, Royce Lewis, and Matt Wallner had three hits each. Joey Gallo, Carlos Correa, and Willi Castro had two hits each. The Twins hit 7-for-13 with runners in scoring position and left six men on base. Tomorrow, Sonny Gray faces Tanner Bibee in Game 2.
