2013 Game 56: Twins at Royals
Walters

Guthrie
It's nice that the Royals, despite going for it, have returned to being the Royals. B-R has their SRS just behind the Twins: -0.1 versus 0.1. That said, Jeremy Guthrie is going for the Royals.

Playing bad teams is a lot of fun. Fortunately, the Mariners are next.

So I hear Lohse is trying to join some elite exclusive club. I am okay with making him wait until next year.

Let's hope Deduno didn't forget his WBC magic tonight.

Gamelog just in case people want to experience more losing.

Ah, bad teams have such a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Joe, time to work turn your pitch framing magic to 11. Worley needs all the help he can get.
Wait, Mauer isn't catching? Uh, oh.

I did not expect the Twins to have more wins than losses at this point in the season. Or any point after game four. They are still in fourth place though, so maybe that's why. The Twins are above .500 and the AL Central has four teams at least .500, most of any division.
Since ending his season starting strikeout streak on April 15, Hicks's batting line is .200/.328/.345. His season stats are a lost cause, but the stats since are comparable to Hunter's first full season at the same age in 1999: .255/.309/.380. Hicks has 14 walks so far while Hunter had 26 in all of 1999. Hicks will probably end up with more strikeouts than Hunter; he's racked up 34 in 31 games compared to Hunter's 76 in 135 games.
I'm feeling better about the season and it looks like Hicks major league experience might not be ruined.

Pedro Hernandez

Justin Masterson
The Twins predicted well and this game starts two and a half hours before the Wild game. Plenty of time to determine if Hernandez is able to continue bolstering his Cy Young season before the important game starts.
