I saw none of the game, only heard about an inning of it, and don't have much time, so this will be less than the recappiest recap ever. Sorry about that, especially when we finally beat the Tigers for once.

Game 20: Tigers vs. Twins
Sanchez (1-2, 5.96 ERA) vs. Big Pelf! (1-0, 2.65 ERA)
Welcome back to Tuesday game previews, Big Pelf!
Admittedly, he had a pretty good outing in his last start. It could even be argued that his last two were good. Hopefully that is something he can keep up tonight, although with his allergies to strikeouts, that may be difficult against the Tigers. A quick look at his 4.99 xFIP doesn't fill me with a ton of confidence that this isn't just smoke and mirrors.
I'm going to be in Toledo for the next couple days, so I might actually be able to watch this series. I hope to see a win against this dang team.

Yeah, I know I've played this cut before, but you'll just have to deal because we're on a roll.
