Ricky Nolasco (5-1, 5.12 ERA, 81 ERA+, 2.86 FIP, 1.61 WHIP): A win for Ricky today ties his win total for all of last year.
-vs-
Drew Hutchison (4-1, 5.12 ERA 77 ERA+, 3.73 FIP, 1.31 WHIP): Drew has received an average of 9 runs of support this year...wow.
Other than a hiccup in Detroit, Minnesota has won every series in the month of May thus far. A win today would get them to 8 series wins out of 9 and 20 wins for the month.
Tommy Milone has a bad game, giving up two runs. The Lookouts keep fighting but come up short. A walkoff sinks the Miracle. A big seventh carries the Kernels. The DSL Twins still have no record.

One inning per game is all that's needed as the Red Wings split. Miguel Sano has been sitting and I don't know why. Singles night doesn't go well for the Miracle. Keaton Steele and a wild sixth inning carry the Kernels. And check out the ERAs of today's starters!
