It appears that no major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins were born on this day, although there are some who would argue there should have been.

2013 Game 139: Toronto Blue Jays at Minnesota Twins

Mike Pelfrey

Battle of the former Mets tonight.

The Twins have four wins to win to match last year's total. With 24 games remaining, at their current pace they are projected to finish with 71 wins. The remaining schedule will make getting to 70 wins difficult. Three games against the Jays, a makeup game against the Angels, and three more against the White Sox. The other 17 games are against the A's (7), Rays (3), Tigers (3), and Indians (4).
