Overview

• Chris Paddack carried a perfect game into the sixth inning, allowing only one run on three hits over 7 1/3 innings with six strikeouts and no walks.
• The Twins have now won six consecutive games, their longest streak since June 2024, and improved to 19-20 on the season.
• Byron Buxton set the tone early with a leadoff triple and scored the game’s first run, while Carlos Correa and Trevor Larnach added key RBIs.
• The Giants’ offense struggled, failing to record a baserunner until the sixth inning and managing only a solo home run by Matt Chapman in the seventh.
• Minnesota’s rotation adjustments, necessitated by Joe Ryan’s illness, paid off as Paddack delivered his first win since June 2024.
