MLB Power Rankings: 26-30

2. The Twins have now lost 8 of their last 10 and continue to have runs piled up against them. Their pitching staff is allowing a .283 batting average, which is dead last in baseball through 8 weeks. Second year man <a href=. 15-36. Last Week: 30. Minnesota Twins . 30. player

Current winners of three of their last four including beating the Giants in front of their home field fans on Memorial Day qualifies as a moderate hot streak for a 15 win team. Strong pitching has continued to come from <a href=. 15-36. Last Week: 29. Atlanta Braves . 29. player. 17

17-35. Last Week: 28. Cincinnati Reds . 28. player. 61. Coming off 11 straight losses, the Reds finally got a 7-6 win in Milwaukee this past Saturday capping off a terrible stretch of baseball in nearly every faucet. Quietly <a href=

Last Week: 26. San Diego Padres . 27. player. 127. The Padres have quietly been a bit more feisty than many people realize but it hasn’t necessarily shown up in the win column. Three of their 6 losses to the Giants in the past two weeks have been in one run ball games. Their schedule has not been very friendly as they have also faced the Dodgers and now get to face a red hot Mariners team.. 20-33

Milwaukee Brewers . 26. player. 76. The Brewers were able to take advantage of having a three game set with the Braves by winning all three. They followed that up with a series win against the struggling Reds. Two cupcake matchups in the middle have been keeping them afloat as they have struggled against the Cubs, Mets and now the Cards.. 23-29. Last Week: 27
