Average in pitching (17th in team ERA at 4.32) and worse on offense (26th in team batting average, .227), the Twins have seen production from a handful of players.

Tristan Gray has made a great first impression with the Minnesota Twins
Contemplating retirement coming into the season, Gray has been one bright spot on a poorly constructed Twins roster. Acquired from the Boston Red Sox over the offseason for catcher Nate Baez, Gray has hit .267 with a .795 OPS and three home runs in 15 games.
One of Gray’s home runs was a grand slam he hit in the home opener, which helped the Twins win 10-4 over the Tampa Bay Rays.
This power production, which ties his season high in home runs, and his versatility have proven to be what the Twins needed.
