Twins still dead last. Baltimore is hanging out though.

Game 46: Twins in Cleveland
J.A. Happ vs. Zach Plesac
Two pitchers who violate the WGOM style guide for the spelling of first names face off in yet another Sunday rubber match.
Miguel Sano has been very good at hitting the baseball lately. He's got at least one hit in 8 of his last 9 games, and in that time he has 2 singles, 3 doubles and 6 home runs (.333/.405/.970). Any time Sano has as many hits (11) as strikeouts (11) over a stretch, you know things are going well.
May 23, 2021: Heeeyyyy, They’re Friends
Shhhhhh, don't tell him, but Phyllo's friend's fantasy league is difficult to navigate, what with the waiver rules, large roster sizes, and number of competitors. Gotta keep up with your prospect news.

Game 45: twins @ clevelanders
Winning streak!
Today, our beloved Twins try to extend their winning streak to 3 games for just the second time this year, and the first time since....game 4.
To that end, they'll send out last year's Cy Young award runner-up to take on last year's winner. Man, both of those pitchers were pretty great last year. One of them has been pretty great this year, too. Too bad it's the other guy.
Yes, King Kenta has just been off all season. Last time he took on the Clevelanders, it was utterly infuriating. Let's hope he's able to do better against a lineup that the Übermensch dominated last night, and the lineup manages to run into something against the Popstar.
NHL PLAYOFFS: Game 4 – Vegas @ Minnesota
I am honestly not sure what to say about game 3. The first period looked so good. Wild players were in front of the net. Pucks were finding their sticks and actually getting past Fleury. Spirits were high!
And then the Wild turned in the worst two periods of the entire season series against the Golden Knights. Vegas got more goals than the Wild got shots over the last 40 minutes of game 3. It was an intensely frustrating game to watch. Continue reading NHL PLAYOFFS: Game 4 – Vegas @ Minnesota
