Rangers Rough up Twins, Bailey Ober to Win Series Finale, 16-3
- On Thursday at Target Field, the Texas Rangers defeated the Minnesota Twins 16-3, with Bailey Ober starting for the Twins.
- The Twins' struggles stemmed from key injuries to starters Pablo Lopez and Zebby Matthews, forcing adjustments amid a rotation already underperforming.
- Ober struggled through 4 2/3 innings, allowing seven earned runs on six hits—including four home runs—and issuing six walks prior to being replaced by Cole Sands.
- Ober said, "I think so, I think I'll be fine," but added if he keeps pitching poorly, he probably will need time off, while manager Baldelli called this a challenge.
- Since López’s injury, the Twins’ starting pitchers have struggled significantly, allowing an ERA of 7.07 over eight games, contributing to a decline following their strong winning streak last month.
