Game 38 — Redbirds at Twins
St. Louis Cardinal time again. After dominating them last week in St. Louis the Twins are looking to pluck the Cardinals once again and put a stop to a 2-game slide. Jose Berrios on the mound for the Twins and it sure would be nice to have the April Berrios and not the May Berrios show up tonight. Jack Flahery for the Cardinals.
7:10p start and it looks like it will be absolutely gorgeous weather tonight.

Game 34 Twins at Angels
Last night I fell asleep with the game tied, so I refuse to acknowledge that loss.
Lance Lynn will try to build on a strong start last time around. Maybe he can keep Ian Kinsler in the ballpark.

Happy Byron Buxton Day! He off the DL and back in the lineup which means Robbie Grossman exits the OF woo wooo! Is there a Statcast breakdown on OFers arms? Because it sure seems like Grossman has a noodle arm out there.
Also Happy Berrios Day........

All this excitement has to result in a win for our favorite baseballers (although the Angles are no slouch of team with 22 wins so far this year)
