The lead
June 26, 2026 - Minneapolis - the Minnesota Twins outlasted the Colorado Rockies 9-8 in a slugfest at Target Field, per the Associated Press recap on CBS Sports.
How the game turned
Both teams traded runs in a high-scoring Friday night affair. Minnesota held on for a one-run win after Colorado pushed across eight runs but could not complete the comeback.
Pitching and matchup notes
Neither bullpen could shut the door in a game that favored the team with the last big inning at Target Field.
Bats that changed the board
The slugfest produced multiple AthX Engine hitting lines on both sides. Minnesota's offense scored just enough to survive Colorado's rally.
AthX Engine fantasy angle
AthX Engine still credits high-scoring wins when the lineup stacks RBIs in a one-run game. The Twins' team total registers on the daily board, separate from dynamic pricing.
What comes next
The Twins and Rockies played again Saturday in Minneapolis.
