The Milwaukee Brewers edged out the Minnesota Twins 3-2 in a game that followed a painfully familiar script: the Twins' bullpen faltered late, leaving fans shaking their heads. You guessed it—another late lead slipped away.

A rookie pitcher making just his second MLB start kept the Twins' offense mostly quiet, and when the game turned into a bullpen battle, it felt like watching the Bad News Bears all over again. Here’s how it all unfolded, inning by inning.

First Inning: The sparse crowd saw Jackson Chourio lead off with a double, quickly scoring on a William Contreras single. Milwaukee racked up three hits, each clocked at 107 MPH or harder—not the start the Twins wanted. Minnesota went down quietly against Brewers starter Coleman Crow, a pitcher who arrived via a trade from the Angels to the Mets for Eduardo Escobar (yes, he’s still playing, now in the Venezuelan Winter League). Brewers lead 1-0.

Second Inning: A smoother frame for Twins pitcher Joe Ryan, as the ball talc finally seemed to work its magic. Crow matched him with another easy inning, leaving the crowd to ponder more important things—like ranking Cameron Crowe movies by how much you hate them. (Almost Famous is the only tolerable one, right?)

Third Inning: Ryan kept dealing, and GameDay even predicted the sunset in St. Paul (105 minutes away, in case you're curious). Meanwhile, Crow was tossing a perfect game, which was starting to get annoying.

Fourth Inning: Jake Bauers singled and stole second, but Ryan stranded him, channeling his inner Gandalf at the plate. Then, Ryan Jeffers broke up the perfect game with a one-out single (maybe an error, but we’ll take it). That small spark was all the Twins had for a while.

The Late Innings: The script flipped when the bullpen took over. True to form, the Twins' relievers couldn't hold the line, and Milwaukee capitalized. Another close game, another late collapse—a story Twins fans know all too well.

For the Brewers, it was a gritty win built on hard hits and a rookie's poise. For the Twins, it's back to the drawing board, wondering when the bullpen will finally hold up its end of the bargain.
