Bailey Over takes the mound today.
Last game in July. They're 10-16 so far in July, which is pretty poor.

Games 104 Twins at St Louis in progress
Guess JA Happ didnt have to go far after the trade.
2021 Game 103: Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins
Wily Peralta
vs
J.A. Happ
This will be the week of last starts for some Twins' pitchers. Unfortunately (fortunately?) the only relief the Twins will get in return for Happ will be a replacement level pitcher from St. Paul that won't be as bad.
2021 Game Log 102 – Tigers at Twins
I knew the Twins had stumbled out of the All Star break but I was shocked when I looked at the standings today. 15 games under .500, 3.5 games behind the Tigers! I think I've blocked out how bad it's gotten.
Maeda on the mound for the Twins, let's hope he's well rested after scoring the winning last night. Someone called Tyler Alexander for the Tigers and he looks about as mediocre as a Tigers starter would be as expected to be.
It's stinky hot and muggy tonight so not very pleasant at the ballpark if out in the sun. Let's play ball!

Game 99: angels @ twins
Berrios start! Could be one of his last as a twin. Let's make it a good one, Jose.
Twins Game 98: Angels at Twins
I don't see a game log, so here is one. Brent Rooker is finally up and will be the DH tonight. J. A. Happ is on the mound, which doesn't give me a lot of confidence, but he has pitched good games sometimes, so maybe he will tonight. It's baseball, and as Joaquin Andujar told us, youneverknow. Go Twins!
2021 Game 97: Angeli versus Gemini
Game Time - 7:10 p.m. CT
Gates Open - 5:30 p.m. CT
During the last home stand I noticed a few ushers sitting in the bleachers during BP collecting baseballs hit up there. I asked one of them about it and he said they give them to kids during the ballgame. I think I'm gonna be one of those guys now. Lots of promotions at the ballpark this weekend. Tonight is Celebrate Diversity day with free shirts to the first 10,000 fans. Friday is postgame fireworks and Josh Donaldson Bobblehead night with the wobbly souvenirs going to the first 10,000 fans through the gates. Saturday and Sunday are Back to School weekend with an undisclosed back to school item going the the first 5,000 fans 12 and under each day.
My wife is convinced that every year the Twins get on a roll of winning right before the All-Star break and then go on a losing streak after the break. I haven't done the research on previous years yet, but this year we won the last four games before the break and lost the first three games after, and we've only won two and lost five since coming off the mid-season intermission. That's mainly due to bad luck from not playing very good.
Kenta Maeda (4-3) today gets his 16th start of the year for the Twins. He's sitting on a 4.71 ERA, almost a point higher than his career total, but he's got 79 Ks in about 73 innings. He's only walked 14 batters, though, and over his last seven starts his WHIP is a meager 1.14.
Andrew Heaney (5-7) gets the start for the Angels today. He sports a 5.56 ERA, also about a point higher than his career total. He's lefthanded and breathing. Play ball!
2021 Game 96: Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox
Michael Pineda
vs
Dylan Cease
The Twins hope to split the series by winning the bookends. We meanwhile hope certain relief pitcher(s) show enough improvement to fetch anything in a trade.
