Twins' recent bullpen collapses

July 31, 2017 at 5:51AM

NO RELIEF

The Twins fell to 1-5 on their eight-game California road trip, with blown leads a common theme:

Monday: Dodgers 6, Twins 4

Twins lost the lead in the eighth as normally reliable Taylor Rogers gave up a three-run homer to Cody Bellinger.

Wednesday: Dodgers 6, Twins 5

The Twins blew a five-run lead, with the bullpen giving up the tying run in the eighth and the winning run in the ninth.

Saturday: A's 5, Twins 4

Rogers, trying to earn his first save at any level as a pro, gave up Rajai Davis' two-run homer in the ninth.

Sunday: A's 6, Twins 5 (12)
