Nick Leyva is a long-time minor league coach and manager and major league coach. He managed the Philadelphia Phillies from 1989-1991.
First team to 10 runs wins! That's been the series so far, with blowouts going both ways in the first two games.
Brent Rooker sure likes hitting against the Rays, huh? 6 for 9 in the first two games, with 2 homers, a double, and not a single strikeout. This after going 0 for 11 with 9 strikeouts in the previous series against the White Sox.
Luis Arraez just likes hitting against anyone. I feel like he's the one in the lineup that I watch and think "but how does he do that?" the most often. After hitting only .304 in June, Arraez hit .373 in July and .417 so far in August.
Charlie Barnes starts for the Twins. That hasn't gone great so far this year, but maybe this time will be different.
Luis Patiño goes for the Rays and he's had one good start out of four since joining the rotation about a month ago.
Looking at the most recent starts for these pitchers, it just might end up being another race to 10 runs this afternoon.
Nick Gordon hits a homer. B. J. Boyd stays hot. Aaron Sabato continues a power surge.
Is hopefully where I'll be when this posts.

Today would have been Mom and Dad A's seventy-fifth wedding anniversary.
Come through, King Kenta!
That being said, I want the Rays to win the World Series.
Enjoy the beautiful weather. For a mid August day, it doesnt get much better.
An abbreviated report, as I don't have much time today.
