It's been a bad couple of weeks since the all-star break for the Minnesota Twins, but perhaps they bottomed out in the sixth inning of a 10-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday at Target Field.
The loss was the Twins' fourth in a row and eighth in 11 games since the July 13-16 break.
"You can look at a lot of areas where we need to improve the way we've been playing," manager Paul Molitor said. "I don't think we've played a clean game for a while."
The Twins committed three errors Wednesday as the Pirates completed a two-game sweep that ended interleague play for Minnesota; the Twins were 8-12 against National League clubs.
