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.

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.
