Pineda
vs

2019 Game 107: Minnesota Twin at Miami Marlins
Berríos
vs
Alcantara
Twins pick up Sam Dyson and Marcos Diplan.
2019 Game 101: New York Yankees at Minnesota Twins
J.A. Happ
vs
Jake Odorizzi
One more against the Yankees this year, at least until the postseason. Odorizzi won the only game in New York with six scoreless innings. The bullpen tried to blow it that time too but Parker and Rogers managed to hold on to win.
2019 Game 94: New York Mets at Minnesota Twins
Jason Vargas
vs
Martín Pérez
Day game after a clunker last night. This is the final game against the Mets. The Twins split the series in New York so need to win today to salvage a .500 record against a bad team.
2019 All-Star Game: Polanco and Berríos take on NL
Game in progress with Polanco taking on Kershaw. That's a less scary sentence these days than several seasons ago.
2019 Game 87: Texas Rangers at Minnesota Twins
Adrian Sampson
vs
Martín Pérez
Game starts about an hour late. The Twins division lead has dropped to 6 after several weeks of average at best play. Final series before the "half"way point of the season. Time to finish strong before a much needed break.
2019 Game 85: Minnesota Twins at Oakland Athletics
Kyle Gibson
vs
Mike Fiers
No reports of any blisters for Gibson yet. Yet another two-game losing streak, something the Twins have had a lot of the past two weeks (four since mid June). This time however, good(?) luck(?) charm bS is in attendance to cheer on the team.
2019 Game 79: Tampa Bay Rays vs Minnesota Twins
Charlie Morton
vs
Jake Odorizzi
Former league ERA leader faces current league ERA leader. Odorizzi had two bad starts against against the Royals but he's done with them until at least August. His last start against the Rays went well, his last scoreless start. Magill tried to blow it after but didn't fully succeed.
Morton meanwhile was the starter in the blowout loss to the Rays. The Twins have gone 14-9 since then, an only 90-win pace.
2019 Game 73: Boston Red Sox at Minnesota Twins
Eduardo Rodriguez
vs
Kyle Gibson
Fourth game of the three-game series.
Twins replaced Blake Parker with Sean Poppen while the Red Sox replaced Velázquez with Josh Smith. Poppen has yet to pitch in MLB but he's done well this year in AAA (not AA though). Josh Smith has pitched 75 games over four seasons in MLB. He has not done well in AAA despite good strikeout and walk numbers.
The teams have scored nine runs over the previous 26 innings so I expect fireworks today.
2019 Game 66: Seattle Mariners at Minnesota Twins
Gerson Bautista
vs
Jose Berríos
One of these days I'll remember I have Wednesday's game log and not have to hastily post a log while letting the kids stall for bedtime.
