Game 34: twins @ clevelanders

A week ago, I said that playing the Royals, Sox, and Clevelanders at 7-3 would be a disappointment. They lost that game, then infuriatingly lost two against Chicago. So...now 7-3 is the best they can hope for.

Luckily, Sonny Gray is on the mound today, and he doesn't believe on site things like occasionally giving up runs. Of course, with the way our non-Buxton offense has been going, there might be a surfeit of runs, in general. Let's hope for another 2-0 game in our favor.
