Helium Summary: The Minnesota Twins ended the first half of their season with a 3-2 loss against the san francisco giants, marked by critical errors in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Despite late-game heroics from Manuel Margot tying the game, the Twins' defense faltered, allowing Mike Yastrzemski of the Giants to score the winning run on a misjudged throw.

The Twins now have a record of 54-42, trailing Cleveland in the AL Central.
