Twins 17-1 when scoring 4+ runs.

4.5 ties biggest division lead of the season.

+30 vs. -29 in terms of RS/RA compared to White Sox.

No homers in their last five wins or games, something like that.

White Sox 2.5 games behind Toronto in WC race with nobody yet between them.  Indians 3 back.

Twins with a Kepler grand slam against a pitcher nobody has heard of with a 12 ERA.l in the bottom of the first.

Likely to be 10 games over .500.

Btw glad we were smart enough not to go after Javier Baez at least.  The defense and base running just can't offset the offensive woes.

 

And we will also see how the Guardians stack up against the Astros in Houston.  Likely pretender, but they've been sticking in there for longer than most would have given them credit for.

Royals pursuing Frankie Montas, might end up blocking Yankees and other suitors

If the Sox can't get him, I would LOVE KC to do it.  They have no chance at winning anything and would only rob themselves of the prospects they really need down the road.

Oops didn't check the date because it was right next to a new Anderson article.

Well in that case the odds of the Royals still going after Montas and burning prospects in non competitive years are pretty much slim and none.

Unless they want another version of Gil Meche, veteran anchor for a young/rebuilding organization.

Even then, he had a five year commitment, not such a limited time frame as Montas offers...so they should be looking for more of a Jon Lester who would sign an extension.  Tough tough sell.

Tigers now 5-15 on the road.

Would be the fourth series sweep of the season for the Twins.   White Sox, A’s, Royals, Tigers.

I would assume Detroit can't be this bad all year, which sucks because we play them 9 times in August and September. Wasn't it Hawk that said, "It's not who you play, it's when you play them." Something like that anyway.

Buxton, 3 for last 41, 0/22 streak. DHing mostly.

Just missed a bomb in first, barely yanked foul.  But Correa and Sanchez really heating up. 

Celestino a revelation and Kepler wishes all of his games were against Detroit.  Finally Arraez .455 obp leads majors.

That was a nice play at 3rd to prevent Sanchez getting an RBI.

Twins getting all the breaks.  Tigers robbed of a run by terrible replay.

Not sure how that wasn't overturned. Clearly wasn't tagged until after crossing the plate. His hand looked to have touched the plate. Might be one of those Twins years.
