That old ninth-inning, walk-off magic finally failed the Twins on Sunday at Target Field, where Tampa Bay was the team that scored three times in the 10th inning to win 7-5. The first two games of a three-game series ended with walk-off dramatics in the ninth inning for a Twins team that has seven walk-off victories at Target Field this season.

Bradley has been hurt by a .356 batting average on balls in play in high-leverage situations. He has pitched well on the road (3.95 ERA) and has a better history against Minnesota than what shows in his ERA history. Current Twins batters own an aggregate .671 OPS against him (per ESPN).

Pepiot has been excellent on the road (2.83 ERA in 2025, 2.94 ERA since 2023), and the 27-year-old righty has good numbers against Baltimore. Per ESPN, current Orioles own a whiff-laden .637 OPS against him.
