Yikes, Twins scuffling right when things getting dicey in the AL Central. The good news? Twins only 2.5 games behind the Guardians. The bad news? The Royals are only a game behind the Guards. Funny how that happens when a team (Royals) makes strategic moves at the trading deadline. Sure would be nice if the Twins picked themselves up and took the next two against Atlanta.

Simeon Woods Richardson vs. Spencer Schwellenbach which not only is a pitching match up with a lot of letters in their names, but a match up between two rookies who have pitched decently this year and could be on the cusp of decent MLB careers. SWR has been particularly good for the Twins and may have saved their season with how well he has done from the bottom of the rotation. Keep it up Simeon, Twins need a victory tonight!

First pitch at 6:40 and looks like the weather should hold off.

Well that was a fun, big boy win last night, Odorizzi looking like his spring 2019 self, Mays hitting 100 on the radar gun to finish 2 solid innings, Jake Cave botching a simple grounder in the outfield, Sano’s pitch hit blast... Here’s a little Freealonzo Fun Fact: Last time the Twins beat Atlanta with a walk off homerun in Minneapolis, these same two teams played the next day and the Twins, with their ace on the mound, won in extras. Can history repeat itself?!?

Atlanta has Mike Foltynewicz on the mound who's back to the bigs after pitching about as well as I can pronounce his name earlier in the season. A 6.37 ERA, more hits than innings pitched, and a 2-5 record on a first place team. Also the dude gives up nearly 2.5 bombas per 9 innings so sorry 1964 Twins home run record, looks like your place in history could be gone by 10:30p tonight.

Berrios on the mound for the Twins and a team that looks like it’s locked in right now. Should be a glorious night for baseball. 7:10p first pitch. Enjoy.
