7/15/2018

Such a great end to the first half of the season.

Series Scores
Game 1: Final: Twins 5 Rays 1
The Twins won this won solidly.
Game 2: Final: Twins 11 Rays 8
The Rays made this one close towards the end of the game, but the Twins pulled it out.
Game 3: Final: Twins 6 Rays 18
This might be the most embarrassing game all season for the Twins. They were actually winning this one 6-4 in the 5th inning.
Game 4: Final/10 Innings: Twins 11 Rays 7
What a great way to go into the All-Star break! The Twins came from behind in this one. They were losing 4-1 heading into the 7th inning. Then each team scored a ton of runs. In the bottom of the 10th inning Brian Dozier stepped up to the plate and hit a grand slam to end the game!

Series Summary
The Twins played well for the most part, but it was ironically the starting pitching that let the Twins down in this series. Great way to enter the All-Star break.

AL Central Update
Literally no change in the standings just thought I would mention that the Twins are only 7.5 games behind Cleveland.

Bullpen
RHP Ervin Santana has almost completed his 6 and a half month rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester. Molitor has said he expects one more start for Triple-A and then he might be back with the team.

Up Next
Now the league will enter the All-Star break in Washington D.C. Make sure you tune in to watch Jose Berrios! 
After the All-Star break the Twins enter a 10-game road trip that starts in Kansas City on July 20th.

​Go Twins!
