Crooked seventh inning costs Twins in loss to Guardians
- On April 30, 2025, at Progressive Field in Cleveland, the Guardians defeated the Minnesota Twins 4-2 after a key error in the seventh inning.
- The game remained scoreless through six strong pitching innings from both Pablo Lopez of the Twins and Luis Ortiz of the Guardians before the seventh inning unraveled.
- Lopez fielded a slow grounder from Carlos Santana but threw wildly past first base, allowing Jose Ramirez to score from second and ending Lopez’s night.
- Lopez admitted, "There's no excuse for throwing the ball the way I did," explaining he was slow off the mound and overthinking his leg, yet would "throw the ball to first again" with a more accurate throw.
- The error and subsequent three-run homer by Bo Naylor put the Twins in a 4-0 deficit they could not overcome despite late runs, reflecting a costly seventh inning misstep.
