MEMORIAL DAY GAME ALERT!
The surprisingly good Royals come to town for a four game series against the unsurprisingly flat Twins. Ryan has been pitching well of late, so let's hope the streak continues.

Is it still "early"? Let's hope so.
2023 Game Log 132: Cleveland Indians at Minnesota Twins
After the improbable win against the Rangers yesterday, the Cleveland Guardians of the Galaxy come to town for a three game series to close out the month. The Twins currently have a 6.0 game lead in the division, so hopefully they use this opportunity to pull away. Curry is on the mound for the Guards (I think I know, but I'll let you try to pronounce his first game). He's only made a few starts this year, but has been decent enough. Most likely should be plenty to put away this lineup.
We hit the road after this (to play the Rangers... and the Guardians?) so let's get some wins!
2023 Game Log 86: Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins
The Royals come into Minnesota for a three game series. Hopefully the Twins can get themselves back to .500 by the end of it.
2023 Game Log 73: Boston Red Sox at Minnesota Twins
Twins open a four game series at Target Field against the Red Sox. While the Sox have one more win than the Twins, they play in the AL East, which makes that figure mean something entirely different.
The Twins' offense is, uh, not good right now...
#MNTwins in deep slumps:
Byron Buxton is 0-for-21 and hitting .136 in his last 25 games.
Joey Gallo hitting .133 with 0 homers in his last 15 games.
Max Kepler hitting .130 with 1 homer in his last 20 games.
Christian Vázquez hitting .183 with 0 homers in his last 38 games.

And as Rhu_Ru noted, in yesterday's game, "Gallo, Buxton, Kepler, and Jeffers K'd in all their ABs". So yeah, that's not great! We're getting one of those years where we do things like have a promising road trip then trip onto our faces against lesser teams. I fear this is going to be the type of team we have this year. Again. Rays of sunshine, bracketed by frustration. Uh, play ball!
2023 Game Log 41: Chicago Cubs at Minnesota Twins
More free baseball today, if that's your thing. I kind of wish these Twins' home unis were the same color as their hats. Give your mothers a kiss!
2022 Game Log 126: Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins
As mentioned, the Twins have a grueling, crucial stretch in front of them. While a sweep of the Giants is nice, these next few series could well decide the course of the rest of the season.
Aaaaand one reason I said that is I guess I haven't been playing close attention because I thought the Red Sox were doing better than this. They're currently in last place in the AL East (though that designation naturally comes with some caveats) at 62-66. Still, I'm sure they could easily be in contention for the Central, so this won't be an easy series. Especially if the assbats are abound as has been a common feature lately.
We start off with some Bello on Bundy action tonight. Dylan allowed 2 runs in 5 innings against the Astros last time, but he didn't record a strikeout. Hopefully another Twins starter can hit six innings tonight.

We’re in first. By a small chunk actually. It’s the Central, but whatever, let’s keep going with the schtick.

In progress. Paddack just came out with an injury, so that's fun.
