Josh Donaldson had this to say about New York’s performance defensively!
We played a little sloppy,”We have a deep team; bullpen, offense is deep as well. Obviously, you don’t want to continue to play like that, but it was nice to pick each other up right there and still win that ballgame."

The blast continued one of the toughest stretches Duffey has endured during his career as a back-end reliever, one in which he has now allowed 11 earned runs and 13 hits in his last seven innings, spanning eight appearances. He has slowly descended in the Twins’ bullpen leverage hierarchy in the meantime, with this outing coming on the heels of another tough appearance in Toronto on Sunday, when he was handed a five-run lead in the ninth and couldn’t get out of the frame.
Tyler Duffy had this to say about his relief appearance for Minnesota!
It’s [expletive] frustrating,cutting in before the first question of his postgame press conference had even ended.I feel good. I made some good pitches, some I definitely thought were strikes. Got a ground ball, Luis [Arraez] made a good try at it, and the next thing you know, three runs are on the board. … The last two years, I’ve been dealing. It’s definitely difficult, but we’re trying to right the ship. We’re working every day to fix it, and it just ain’t happening right now.”The stuff’s there,” Duffey said. “The league knows me, I’ve made adjustments here and there, started mixing in different pitches, things like that. It’s just that sometimes good hitters, you’re trying to hit the corner and then you miss middle, and the next thing you know, Rizzo’s taking you up top. Or, pick a guy.”
