7/13/25	Cole Sands’ embrace of opener role benefitting Twins. Cole Sands was cruising on Saturday.

7/06/25	Twins Bullpen Stands Strong Against Rays Amid Decimated Rotation. The Minnesota Twins got a big-time performance on Saturday in a 6-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field. After a walk-off victory on Friday to open the series, the Twins entered Game 2 with three starters on the injured list, and little option but to utilize reliever Cole Sands as an opener before turning to the rest of their bullpen for the remainder of the game. It paid dividends for Minnesota, as Sands and four other relievers were able to gut out the victory. Other than a four-run sixth inning, Twins pitchers allowed only two hits.
