Hey, we've got a bit of a winning streak! Only four games, and against some of the worst teams in the league, but you have to win those games, too.
Archer vs. Otto. Not exactly Drysdale vs. Ford, but alas.
Let's make it five!

2022 Game 107: Texas at Twins
This is a baseball game log.
2022 Game 116: Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins
Daniel Lynch
vs
Tyler Mahle
Finally a beatdown of a bad team. After a great start last night by former and again current teammate Gray, it's Mahle's turn to continue the great pitching. Especially if it means pitching deep in the game and removing the need for Pagán to enter the game.
2022 Game Log 115 – Royals at Twins
It's the August of our discontent in Twins Territory. The team itself is playing lousy, not fun baseball, Emilio Pagan is still on the team, Buxton either seems to hit an epic HR or feebly strikes out. Twins have fallen 2 games back from the hardly trying Guardians and tied with the underperforming White Sox (also how did both teams end up having played two more games than the Twins?) Here at the WGOM, most game logs seem the have a "in progress" tag if they show up at all.
Hopefully nothing better to fix that than an even more lackluster Royals team. After yesterday's win, hopefully the Twins have the wind in their sails. Zach Grienke for the Royals in probably his last season. Sonny Gray up for the Twins and he's been hands down the best pitcher for the Twins this year.
Another 6:40p start on what should be a nice night. Here' hoping the Twins can build on yesterday's win and start to play some fun, winning baseball.

2022 Game Log 110: Minnesota Twins at Los Angeles Dodgers
Sonny Gray
vs
Ryan Pepiot
Twins now tied with the Guardians in the division. BR ranks them both as average teams. Finishing 81-81 does feel like an accomplishment considering how the season has gone after May. FanGraphs projects them for 84 wins. Keep it close fellas and I'll find out in the morning.
2022 Game Log 109 – Twins at Dodgers
Another Tuesday another 2-game midweek series against an NL team. This time it's the Dodgers who are a MLB high 42 games over .500 after sweeping the Padres this past weekend. Julio Urias up for the Dodgers with his gaudy .99 WHIP, ERA under 3.00 and nearly a strikeout per inning. Joe Ryan for the Twins. Which Joe Ryan will be get? The guy who at times has been lights out or the one who gives up bombas at an unsustainable rate? Let's hope it's the former.
It's the start of a California road trip so get used to late starts. This one is at 9:10p.

2022 Game 105: Blue Jays at Twins – A Tale Of Two Trades
2021: Twins stink. They trade their best pitcher for a handful of prospects who may or may not be good someday.
2022: Twins don't stink. They trade a handful of prospects who may or may not be good someday for a different team's best pitcher.
Game 105 - The two pitchers face each other.
That's cool.
2022 Game 104: Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins
Day game alert!
Tyler Alexander
vs
Joe Ryan
New bullpen additions should be available today. Let's get a lead and show off what a functioning bullpen actually looks like.
2022 Game Log 103 – Tigers at Twins
Nothing like playing the Tigers to cure what ails you so Twins are hoping to add to their victory total as we head into the dog days of summer. Matt Manning on for the Tigers and it's his first start back after being on the 60-day DL for shoulder problems. I'm guessing he's on a pitch count so hopefully the Twins can get lots of bats against that bullpen. Chris Archer on for the Twins after having his start moved back a day, perhaps the extra rest will get him to pitch into the 6th inning.
I usually write these in the morning so no word on trades but by game time we will know if the Twins upgraded their roster at all for this 60-game stretch run. (Narrator: They did in fact upgrade their roster).
Looks hot and sunny for a 6:40p first pitch.
