Twins Reach All-Star Break Right in Middle Standings
The Twins’ offense has led the American League in runs scored, but a weak bullpen and injuries leave their trade deadline plans unsettled.
On Sunday, July 12, 2026, the Minnesota Twins entered the All-Star break at 48-49 after defeating the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 at Target Field.
Since being swept by the Dodgers, the Twins have won 17 of their last 10 games and lead the American League with 471 runs scored.
Starting pitcher Taj Bradley threw seven innings of two-run ball, while Ryan Jeffers drove in two runs and Trevor Larnach added a solo homer in Sunday's win.
Executive chairman Tom Pohlad said the barometer for success is "let's win a championship," positioning the team as buyers before the August 1 trade deadline.
Three games behind division leaders, the Twins face a crucial seven-game road trip against the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Guardians that will determine their playoff fate.
