That’s the Twins’ average runs per game, and put simply, it’s the biggest issue right now. The starters have found a groove, and many (though not all) of the relievers are pitching well.

The Twins have scored five or more runs six times in 17 games this year. In those six games, their two biggest stars, Byron Buxton and Correa, are 12-for-44 with 14 runs and eight RBIs. In the team’s other 11 games, the two linchpins have combined for three RBIs and two runs.
