Rays Sweep Twins and Continue Winning Streak.

The Minnesota Twins lost their fifth straight game, slipping under .500 for the first time this season, as their lackluster offense failed to produce runs once again in a 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Twins' hitting coach is working with the team to improve their approach, particularly with two strikes, as they lead the league in strikeouts. Manager Rocco Baldelli singled out Max Kepler for not stealing second base in Wednesday's game, and Jorge Polanco exited Thursday's game with left hamstring tightness. Bailey Ober was asked to wash his hands mid-game, which he said impacted his performance.
