Pablo López
vs
Luis Ortiz
Tough loss last night but it was against someone (pre-2025) good. Tonight's matchup should be a bit easier. Ortiz was acquired from Pittsburgh in a three-team trade involving the Blue Jays. He has a career 4.66 FIP and 4.13 ERA. Cleveland seems to have gotten him to strike out way more batters but now he is walking nearly five per nine along with 1.4 HR/9. Expect strikeouts, walks, and fly balls. If the Twins can get them over the fence, this is a very winnable game.
So tonight so far we have one hit, two walks, and three strikeouts. Eight groundouts and two flyouts. Sorry for the jinx.
I just turned it on. Is it assbats or an uncommonly good night for Ortiz?
I haven't been able to follow. But considering last night, probably more assbats.
