2024 Game 111: Minnesota Twins at Chicago Cubs
David Festa
vs
Kyle Hendricks
Game in progress!
The Twins continue their quest to beat all of Chicago by taking it to Chicago and playing an actual MLB team. Neither starter has been good this year; both have an ERA very close to 7. Festa at least has the shine of a prospect that he could halve his ERA while Hendricks, does not.
2024 Game 101: Philadelphia Phillies at Minnesota Twins
Day game alert!
Aaron Nola

Keider Montero
vs
David Festa
Montero and Festa both making their second career starts tonight. Montero's first start was in the second game of a double header in May. He made another appearance, seemingly in a bulk appearance, a week ago at home. Neither appearance was good, 4.1 innings each time and giving up four and five runs respectively. I expect another 4.1 inning start but this time six runs over that time.
Festa also gave up five runs last time but clearly it was from one bad inning so I expect a quality start tonight.

Afternoon game alert! Top pitching prospect debut alert!
True first half of the season ends today and David Festa makes his long awaited debut. Festa should make two or three more starts until Paddack comes off the IL so I'm really curious how these few games will go.
