TORONTO — Shortly after watching Griffin Jax suffer his fourth loss in seven appearances last month, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli professed his desire to find the struggling reliever some “softer landing spots” if possible — dropping him into some lower-leverage situations to ease the pressure on him.Problem was, the Twins had been playing very close, tight games at the time and there really weren’t many opportunities for that.“If not, we’re just going to have to keep using him and relying on him to go out there and battle through it,” Baldelli said in May. “He could easily just go out there and one outing and a guy like this can solve a few things. We’ve seen that happen before, and I believe that he’s a guy that could do that.”Since that point?The reliever entered Sunday having made eight appearances since Baldelli said that. Over the course of 7 2/3 innings, he had given up just two hits and no runs while striking out 10.Opponents are hitting .080 against Jax in that period of ti...Three arrested in connection to Washington County narcotics investigation
