Twins fall again in St.Louis

On a Sunday in Missouri, during the third game of the season, the Twins suffered a loss, resulting in a 0-3 record and a series sweep to start the year.
Bailey Ober, who was dealing with a virus earlier in the week, struggled in the game, allowing five straight hits in the third inning and a three-run home run by Pedro Pags, his second allowed in the game.
Despite getting their first lead of the season with a first-inning single by Byron Buxton, and a solo home run by Willi Castro, the Twins' offense only managed a total of five hits.
Ober, reflecting on his performance, stated, "It's obviously not the way you want to start the year, just like last year," while Ryan Jeffers noted the difficulty of performing at less than 100 percent.
Despite Dobnak's strong relief effort of 5 1/3 innings, allowing only one run and preserving the bullpen after a rain delay, the Twins could not recover from the early deficit, highlighting similarities to Ober's previous struggles and emphasizing the need for the team to find a way to get baserunners, as stated by Manager Rocco Baldelli.
