Win Likelihood Chart (through FanGraphs)
Devin Smeltzer, already established because the rotation’s savior, confronted off towards an ex-Twins farmhand, Tyler Wells. Smeltzer had simply set a season-high in strikeouts (10) in his earlier begin; Wells regarded to proceed his effectiveness within the Orioles’ beginning rotation.
The sport started sleepily and lazily; neither group scored till the fifth inning, and each the Twins and the Orioles dedicated a careless error within the 1st body. Gilberto Celestino was the perpetrator for Minnesota; Rougned Odor was the one for Baltimore. The errors didn’t result in runs.
The Orioles struck within the 4th inning; Anthony Santander hit a Texas Leaguer over Alex Kirilloff’s head and reached 2nd base after Smeltzer uncharacteristically spiked a wild pitch into the filth. Tyler Nevin—the son of former Twin and present red-ass Phil Nevin—smoked a single up the center, forcing Santander to strive his luck with Celestino’s arm from middle subject. In a detailed battle, Celestino’s throw beat Santander to the plate, and Gary Sánchez slapped the runner to safe the out and energize the gang.
However the Twins offense remained in a coma; Wells, sometimes not a strike-out pitcher, overwhelmed Minnesota’s bats along with his rising fastball and darting slider. Hitters of all selection didn’t combat again; the group’s array of lefties netted only one extra-base hit (a Nick Gordon double within the sixth inning), whereas many walked away with an additional strikeout or two on their ledger. Even Luis Arraez punched out. One thing was not proper.
Fortune turned rapidly within the center innings. Odor smoked a solo homer to proper subject to web the primary run of the ball sport; Trey Mancini and Ryan Mountcastle blasted off consecutively within the subsequent body. All of the sudden, after Smeltzer appeared properly in control of the sport, the rating ballooned to 3-0.
After innings of nothingness, the Twins revved up their engines within the sixth, trampolining off a Celestino lead-off stroll to plate a run. There was a slight feeling of disappointment amid the success; Carlos Correa grounded right into a double-play following an Arraez single, eliminating a base-runner earlier than Jorge Polanco singled dwelling Celestino.
Juan Minaya did his finest to maintain the Twins within the sport; the customarily yo-yo-ed righty posted two scoreless innings with three strikeouts and one hit allowed. On a group searching for aid assist, such outings will assist Minaya make a case for buying essential innings down the stretch.
The Twins couldn’t discover success even after Wells exited the sport. A sequence of Baltimore relievers—Keegan Akin, Joey Krehbiel, and Dillon Tate—continued Wells’ dominance and shutout Minnesota’s offense within the closing three frames.
What’s Subsequent?
The Twins will journey to Chicago and tackle the White Sox for the primary a number of sequence in July; Dylan Bundy will take the mound for Minnesota, whereas Johnny Cueto (sure, he’s nonetheless round) will toe the rubber for Chicago.

Teen vaping nicotine dependence increasing in Minnesota: Survey data
![Teen vaping nicotine dependence increasing in Minnesota: Survey data](https://images.foxtv.com/static.fox9.com/www.fox9.com/content/uploads/2024/07/1280/720/Vapes-sized.jpg?ve=1&tl=1)
Vaping trial: Ellison says Juul, Altria ‘hooked a generation of Minnesota kids on e-cigarettes’
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison laid out his case against vaping company Juul in his lawsuit over teen use of vapes.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) – Minnesota teenagers have increasingly found themselves dependent on nicotine, thanks in part to the rise in popularity of vaping, a new study has found.
According to data from the Minnesota Youth Tobacco Survey, 70% of students who vape say they want to quit, and nearly two-thirds have tried to quit in the past.
Meanwhile, 79.6% of surveyed students who use e-cigarettes, or vapes, reported suffering dependence on the devices, which can provide high levels of nicotine and lead to stronger withdrawal symptoms such as mood fluctuations, stress, anxiety and depression.
“It’s a dire situation that so many of our teens are struggling with the health harms of nicotine dependence,” Minnesota Commissioner of Health Dr. Brooke Cunningham said in a statement accompanying the data. “Many teens may smoke or vape because they think it helps them relieve stress or anxiety, but the nicotine can actually worsen those feelings. We want teens to know that we understand the mental health challenges they may be facing and how hard it is to quit, and that free help is out there to support them.”
The Minnesota Youth Tobacco Survey data show that among students who vaped in the past 30 days, 49.5% vaped at least 20 in the past 30 days – a 47% increase since 2020, and a 165% increase since 2017.
Until age 25, nicotine can negatively affect learning, attention and memory. It also increases risk for addiction to other substances, the study says.
A majority of teens surveyed – 76.3% – reported their first tobacco product was flavored. In 2023, 93.3% of students who vape used a flavored vape in the past 30 days.
However, data show that overall vaping usage numbers could be declining.
In 2023, 13.9% of high school students reported vaping in the past 30 days – a decline from 19.3% in 2020.
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) offers the My Life, My Quit program to support teens in quitting commercial tobacco use, including vaping, by texting “Start My Quit” to 36072.
