Day game alert!
Joe Ryan
vs
Gavin Williams
A much better showing against Cleveland this year in September that last year. The division is nearly clinched so finishing off the sweep will cut the magic number to 15, give the Twins a winning record against Cleveland, and put them into the (AL Central) vaunted air of eight games over .500.
Gavin started the middle game of the series in Minnesota, pitching only a single inning due to injury. He hasn't pitched since so it might be another short start from either injury or rust.
Domingo Germán
vs
Kenta Maeda
Maeda somehow didn't break anything or sustain anything more than a big ouch from stopping the comebacker with his ankle. Bailey Ober is back with the Saints and Maeda is back in the rotation to finish off the Yankees.
Going back through all the Twins-Yankees season results, the last time prior to 2001 the Twins won a season series was 1992 when they went 7-5. They did manage to tie 5-5 in 2000. Go back another year and you will find the last time the Twins swept a three game series with the Yankees. June 11 through June 13 and September 6 through September 8. They finished 10-2 against the hapless 71-91 Yankees. 1993 and 1994 both had two game sweeps if you want to count those too.
Day game alert!
Pineda
vs
Yamamota
Cleveland hosts Astros in their series finale. Salazar makes his season debut against Cole so this is good time to increase the division lead.

Carlos Carrasco
vs
Masahiro Tanaka
I'm predicting at least one sweep happens today and possibly two.
Remodeled basement. Same half-baked taste.
