Not sure who thought Minnesota and Cleveland would be duking it out for first place of the division, but here we are. Don't have too much time to go into the importance of these games, but I don't think I have to either.
Sonny Gray* takes the mound against the youngster McKenzie. Hopefully the Twins left their assbats at home. Here's to a good series!
(*Whenever I hear the name Sonny Gray, I sign it to the tune of "Nite And Grey".)
Oh, MLB's free game today for those not in the blackout.

Sonny Gray
1/8 of the way through the battle for first and it could have started better. The plus side is Pagán is unlikely to pitch again tonight.
Game 1:
Triston McKenzie
vs
Joe Ryan
This game went well last time and now Ryan only needs to finish seven innings.
Game 2:
Logan Allen
vs
Charlie Barnes
Game one has two right-handed starters and game two has two left-handed starters. Both of their ERAs start with a 6 and are closer to starting with a 7 than a 5. Naturally one team won't be able to score at all this game.
Joe Ryan
vs
Triston McKenzie
Ryan makes his second start tonight and the Twins hope to make it four wins in a row and win the series. Cleveland is also at 68-68 so another lose would put them back under .500. They topped out at 10 wins above .500 a couple times, last on June 24 in a win against the Twins. They then lost two, won once, and lost nine times to back to .500. They've since been at best three games over .500 and at worst three games under .500.
