The last place Twins, 16 games under .500, play the Red Sox who happen to be 16 games over .500 in their annual trip to Fenway. After a good start of the season for the Red Sox, they've cooled down but still in line to play a Wild Card game, perhaps against the Yankees. I wonder if it will be televised?
A match-up between two rookies as Tanner Houck on the mound for the Sox and although 0-3 on the year, has pitched well and could be a decent back of the rotation guy for a while. Giffin Jax for the Twins. Primarily a fastball guy, it will be good for the Twins to see what they have in Jax over the next 6 weeks of the season.
Game time 6:10. Since it's against the Red Sox I think it's on ESPN+ if you subscribe.

leadoff triples are sexy
Can we just havee Josh Donaldson hit and someone sprint around the bases for hiim?
No kidding. Oh, and sorry about your uncle Charlie
Good hits by Gordon and Sano this inning.
Jax needs good pitch sequences, and he can't hang pitches like that one.
Jax has hit the wall. His pitches are....going further than that.
We're supposed to get giveback runs too, right? Right?
Ooh, Polanco absolutely crushed that one.
Now on pace for 30 dingers!
Theres still life in the lineup tonight, apparently
Luis? Hell yeah, "in play, no outs"
Oh, screw that, ump. Nick, take your base.
Cuzzi has been absolutely horrible. Can't remember an umpire missing this many home plate calls this badly.
Cuzzi has been so bad Dick Bremer has noted how bad he is.
I dont trust the Duffman here
Duffman trusts himself.
Luis getting 5 PA again -- another step closer to legitimacy
No hit but the walk is a great second choice.
Gotta work the OBP too
*sits up attentively* Hansel?!
