Twins back on their upswing in a up and down season. Hosting the 20 games under .500 Colorado Rockies certainly helps. Cal Quintrill pitching for the Rox and after a pretty good 2022 season for the Guardians, looks like he's at the journeyman stage of his career. Hopefully Twins batters can feast.
Louie Varland back up for the Twins to give the starters a break in A 13-game streak. Varland didn't really do much in St. Paul to convince anyone he's figured it out, but who knows, maybe the deli spread in a MLB clubhouse will be all the motivation he needs.
Looks like the weather should clear by this evening so should be a nice game for baseball.
6:40 first pitch.
I would not be surprised to see Varland commuting to St. Paul tomorrow.
Oh good Lord, Willi with another HBP. Another tonight and he'll have three 2-HBP games in the last four games.

He has not been lights out at all this season
You just can't turn your back on this Twins lineup; this is the kind of team that can find itself 4-, 5-, 6-runs down, yet manage to claw back and rally to just a 1- or 2-run loss.
