Tampa Bay Rays and Minnesota Twins head-to-head record
The last five times these two teams faced each other, all of the five games were won by a single run. Three of those five games have been won by the Rays. On June 20th, 2024, they won back-to-back games with results of 7-6 and 3-2. The Twins have won twice in this time, with the most recent win coming on June 19, 2024, with a score of 7–6. Since these games have been very close lately, the next one is probably going to be another close one. Drama in the late innings and quick-hitting could be very important in deciding the winner. In this game, the Rays might want to keep up their recent good luck against the Twins, whereas Minnesota will try to use its more consistent offense to break this trend and win.
