Nestor Cortes
vs
Chris Archer
It's the Yankees annual trip to Target Field. Tonight's game is now on FS1 so the rest of the country gets to watch too. On the plus side, Correa is expected back for tonight's game.

Day game alert! Twins looking for their second consecutive sweep for the second time this season.
Lineup:
Buxton DH
Arraez 1B
Correa SS
Kepler RF
Sánchez C
Larnach LF
Urshela 3B
Gordon 2B
Celestino CF
Sonny Gray
vs
Daulton Jefferies
Odd start time day game alert!
The Twins face Jefferies again but Jeffers caught last night so once again, no Jeffer...s matchups.
José Urquidy
vs
Chris Archer
Came too close to comfort to two no-hitters last night. Urquidy was good, not great, in 2021. This year he's stepped back some and has been quite hittable. He doesn't walk many so the Twins should be expecting strikes and getting some hits.
Dylan Bundy
vs
Kyle Bradish
One month in, how are ex-Twins doing compared to the current players at those positions?
Player | Avg | OBP | SLG |
---|---|---|---|
Twins C | .220 | .281 | .427 |
Twins 3B | .303 | .364 | .393 |
Twins SS | .242 | .301 | .326 |
Twins DH | .218 | .306 | .310 |
Mitch Garver | .183 | .272 | .310 |
Josh Donaldson | .210 | .333 | .358 |
Isiah Kiner-Falefa | .311 | .346 | .392 |
Nelson Cruz | .143 | .233 | .209 |
Andrelton Simmons |
Game in progress. Bundy's ERA is regressing to the mean very quickly.
Michael Pineda
vs
Joe Ryan
Big Mike comes to town as a Tiger now. His first start was last week against the Yankees and went well. Any wins against the Yankees are good wins.
Meanwhile this is Joe Ryan's fourth start and he's been getting better for each one. He hasn't pitched in the seventh yet so I'm hoping his pitch count is now high enough to get more than 18 outs.
Chris Paddack
vs
Daniel Lynch
Chris Paddack did not have a good debut with the Twins. Fortunately for the Twins, Daniel Lynch had an even worse debut this season. He had a negative WAR last year, his rookie year. He was equally bad in AAA last year but good back in 2019. He's home prone, gave up three in his first start, so that plays right into this lineup's sole strength.
Clayton Kershaw
vs
Chris Paddack
Paddack makes his Twins debut tonight. He has a 7.07 ERA against the Dodgers in his career so hopefully that comes way down after tonight's game.
