Seth Lugo
vs
Pablo López
Twins starters are tied with the Mariners for first in fWAR, 5.2. The Rays are third at 4.3. The relievers unfortunately rank 17th. More unfortunately, the batters are way down at 21st. Correa is a big part of that but Miranda has been worse. The success of the starters means it has been nice to know the team will be in the game until late each time. Sure, I also know those 2-0 games very likely could end up at 2-0 or 2-1 but it's nicer than knowing last season it will not stay at only two runs given up.
Lopez won't go deep into the game if he goes 3-2 on every batter.
The Twins were obviously just toying with Soto by letting him steal second.
Looks like this is the free game of the day.

Awesome baserunning, Carlos.
Ball beat him easily to the plate but I think a better slide could have made it.
He was still trotting to first while his hit was being bobbled in the outfield before that.
Good two-strike hitting, Flash III.
lets walk this off
That's the Duran inning I like to see.
I’m confused why Willi Castro is a viable pinch hitter for anyone who doesn’t pitch for a living.
Maybe not a bad Manfred man at least, fwiw (which isn't a lot)
Enough!
Rocco managing not for the last out of the inning, but the zombie runner.
damn. suicide squeeze.
yeah, suck it, hader.
Man, it's never not fun beating on him
Barrels! There we go!
Donnie barrels!
woo! Jax!
Least deserved intentional walk of Correa’s career.
Yessssssssss
Kirill-walk off!
Alex already has an A cliche game
