Shelton’s culture of resilience on display with Twins

The sweep kept Minnesota in postseason contention after it dropped a three-game home series to Philadelphia, manager Derek Shelton said.

  • The Twins swept the Atlanta Braves in a three-game series at Target Field, rebounding from a disappointing sweep by the Philadelphia Phillies that left the team searching for answers.
  • Twins manager Derek Shelton had witnessed his team surrender a 5-0 lead in a 7-5 home loss to the Phillies, a gut-punch defeat that tested the group's resilience heading into the Braves series.
  • Contributions came throughout the lineup, including first-inning offense in two of three games and solid bullpen work, helping the Twins win three consecutive games against the Braves for the first time since 2007.
  • Designated hitter Josh Bell delivered Monday's decisive blow, hustling out a two-run RBI double in the seventh inning and scoring the winning run during the series opener.
  • The Twins now head to the West Coast for three games in San Diego and three versus the Athletics in Sacramento, Calif., aiming to maintain postseason contention.
