The Twins went 2-4 on their road trip vs. the White Sox and Guardians, a win total that seems more impressive given how poorly the Twins swung the bats vs. their division rivals. Some of the numbers for the Twins offense over the road trip:

28 Twins hits over the six games, an average of 4.7 per game (.141 average).

7 Twins home runs over the six games, accounting for nine of their 18 runs.

3 Times during the road trip the Twins had zero hits through five innings.

15 Hitless at-bats for Joey Gallo, although he did draw five walks.

2 Times the Twins loaded the bases with no one out and failed to score.
