After yesterday's shellacking of the Guardians, the Twins are once again at the dreaded 6 games over .500 level. We've seen losing streaks of 4, 2, and 1 games after reaching these lofty heights -- as if the Twins are afraid of flying too close to the sun. Will they have more runs in them after scoring 3 touchdowns yesterday? Will the Guardians feel like they need to respond?
Sonny Gray on the mound for the Twins and I feel like he's in bulldog mode. Someone named Tanner Bibee for the Guardians. Never heard of the guy but apparently he's one of Cleveland's best pitchers. His strikeout per inning rate is a concern for the free swinging Twins so I don't think we will see double digit runs scored tonight.
It feels like if the Twins can win one more game against Cleveland, that will be the dagger for the season. Let's just get it done tonight and not have to worry about the Guardians thinking they have any chance of catching the Twins.
First pitch at 5:10.
The Twins are 5-6 this season against the Guardians. They need a sweep to finish with a winning record and hold the tiebreaker.
Bibbee is not showing great command of his pitches tonight, and the boys are making some hard contact when he gets 'em over. Gray is dealing through two.
Yeah, I jinxed it.
Jeebus, boys, hit 'em where they ain't.
Giolito yesterday, Moore and López tonight. Guardians flaunting their waiver claims.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!

Finally some breathing room in this game.
That was pretty fun. Thanks, Cleveland!
I bet Francona just made the decision to retire.
White Sox level defense out there in Cleveland:lol:
I love following baseball after school has started.
Wondering how we score these last twelve runs...
Perhaps they plan to use them tomorrow?
Planning ahead!? I LIKE IT
Seven games over .500!
They broke the seal!

guaranteed to leave Ohio with a 6 game lead
Most people are just happy to be leaving Ohio, so a division lead is a nice bonus.
Watched this one out in the backyard playing cribbage with my brother. We keep stats. We’re tied all-time at 111-111. It’s been a little while since someone was up seven games.
