Minnesota Twins Are Down To Final Three Games | Need The Best Of Big Bux & Royce Lewis

With only three days left in the MLB regular season the American League Wild Card race is still crowded.

The American League Central Division has been a surprisingly competitive division this year, with all of the young teams in the division taking a major leap. In the final months leading to the end of the season the Detroit Tigers have come on strong and placed themselves in a great position for October baseball.

The Minnesota Twins’ playoff hopes are fading away after an 8-6 loss to the Miami Marlins on Thursday.

Minny stands three games out of the final wildcard spot with three games remaining against Wild Card leader Baltimore.

And for that to happen they must rely on the MLBbro pairing of Byron Buxton and Royce Lewis.

Byron Buxton has been the most important t piece of the Twins’ success for years. Constant battles against injuries have always limited his ability to help the team and this year has been no different, but he is available when it matters most this year.

Buxton homered on Wednesday night and helped the team to an 8-3 win, but he will need to come up big in the last three games of the season.

The Orioles have already clinched a playoff spot so the Twins should be hungrier and more assertive in their matchup. He will need his MLBbro teammate to do the same.

Royce Lewis Slumping In September 

Royce Lewis, the utility stud for the Minnesota Twins, is in an absolute slump. With a batting average under .220 in September, and only one home run all month he has been disappointing in the stretch run.

However, if he can come up clutch in this final series then he can make u for it in October. If Lewis can’t contribute then the Twins will not have a chance at October baseball, something that is what the team has been striving for.

The MLBbro has battled with his own injuries this year but he is healthy now, and if he does not deliver now there will be no later for this season.

Minnesota fans are optimistic that Lewis and Buxton will come up big at home. A sweep would be great, but they should aim to at minimum win the three-game series to bolster their postseason hopes.
