The Athletics beat the Minnesota Twins 2-0 on July 24, 2026, at Target Field in Minneapolis, with Minnesota unable to turn a few encouraging swings into any runs. The result was a frustrating one for the home side, which showed some life at the plate but never found the hits it needed.
For the Twins, one of the bright spots was the outing from Zebby. Minnesota got the kind of start that usually gives a team a chance to win, but the offense could not provide any support. In a low-scoring game like this, that left very little margin for error.
The shutout reflected the main issue of the night: decent contact did not lead to production. The Twins were not completely overmatched, but scattered hard-hit balls and competitive at-bats were still not enough to break through against the Athletics.
Minnesota also had to rely on its defense to keep the game close, as seen in the action around the infield at Target Field. But with the Athletics holding the Twins scoreless, the solid work on the mound from Zebby ended up going unrewarded in a 2-0 defeat.
