"Atlanta's win streak is now at 6 games, and it's ruining their lottery chances. Drake Baldwin's chances of winning the Rookie of the Year Award have improved, though. He sits at about 3 wins for the season, and Isaac Collins has predictably slowed down. A new challenger has risen, though - Caleb Durbin. After a slower start to the season, his 155 wRC+ over the past month has helped"
"The son's team beat dad's former team behind a solid start from Luis Severino, who was probably happy to pitch in an MLB park even if it wasn't really against an MLB team. Nick Kurtz, who will be the runaway winner for AL RotY, homered to improve his case, but it was Lawrence Butler an inning later with a three-run shot that made the difference in this one."
"Bo Naylor got things started in the top of the first with a two-run single, and the scoring promptly stopped for a while. Pablo Lopez wasn't exactly good, and he's leave after 4 innings with right forearm tightness, which might explain the lack of swing-and-miss in this one. Parker Messick was good, though, striking out 9 over 5.1 innings, but the Twins got to him in the sixth with a single and a double to start things off."
Atlanta's win streak reached six games, improving Drake Baldwin's Rookie of the Year prospects while Isaac Collins cooled and Caleb Durbin emerged with a 155 wRC+ over the past month. Jacob Willson, son of Jack Wilson, contributed to a victory over his father's former team behind a strong start from Luis Severino. Nick Kurtz homered, and Lawrence Butler later hit a three-run shot that decided the game. Bo Naylor drove in runs, Pablo Lopez exited after four innings with right forearm tightness, and Parker Messick struck out nine over 5.1 innings. Twins rallied briefly but bullpen failures and late RBIs sealed the outcome.
