Game 71: Twins @ Rangers

Kenta Maeda goes for the Twins as they pursue their second sweep of the season.

Let's talk series wins this season shall we?

* There were those first two series, when the beat the Brewers and the Tigers. Followed by 5 series without a series win

* Then they won a series against the Royals at the end of April. Followed by 6 series without a series win

* Then they beat Cleveland two out of three and swept the Orioles. Followed by 6 series without a series win before arriving in Texas.

Enough of that. Yuck.

Amazingly, the Twins have managed to split enough Friday-Saturday games (they've done that 10 times while never winning both days or losing both days until this weekend) that they could end this weekend with .500 or better records on all the weekend days.

Friday 6-5
Saturday 5-5
Sunday 4-5

It's weird to be excited about .500 records, but here we are.
