Ronny Henriquez
vs
Cole Sulser
Henriquez has zero MLB starts plus Varland is back with the Twins. Varland's previous appearance with the Saints was five innings in relief a week ago. I suspect Varland will show up in the second or third inning tonight too.

I've strangely always been a fan of watching tennis, even when Wimbledon was interrupting my Saturday morning cartoons. This has been a fun US Open so far and it's also a little weird to watch a major that's basically in my time zone.

Loading... Twins have played some decent baseball these last two games and looks like they are getting ready for a push these last 25 games with Royce Lewis has breaking out of his mini-slump, Brooks Lee back with the big club, Buxton in a rehab assignment. That little scuffling the past week or so has hurt the ability for the Twins to get past the Guardians but hopefully they can move into the playoffs with some momentum as the calendar has now turned to September.
The Rays with a rare off year in 2024 but they still play decent baseball. Jeffrey Springs on for Tampa and he is just returning after more than a year-long stint recovering from Tommy John surgery. Tonight will only be the 10th game he's pitched over the past two seasons. David Festa for the Twins and he's done well given his age and moving pretty quickly through the Twins' system. At this point he could be lights out or have a 9-run first inning. Let' hope for the former from this tall and skinny kid (24 years old, 6'6", 185lbs).
Game time at 5:50.
School starts early around here. In the Minne, I never started before Labor Day. I do like the idea of starting the week before on Wednesday, so there's three days of school, then Labor Day so four days of school this week, and then up to the full five days of school the week after that. But, that's not what we do around here...
