McCovey Chronicles<\/a><\/p>\nTwins win two. Wolves win one and secure the series victory. Minnesota sports fans are happy right now. <\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s day game against the Baltimore Orioles is game four of the series, and the Twins have won the first three and are on a ten-game winning streak. The Twins were the first team this season to win ten straight. A 1-3 Chris Paddack is on the mound for the Twins, Tomoyuki Sugano is on the bump for Baltimore. He is 4-2 on the season with a 2.72 ERA. <\/p>\n

A lot of Twins fans were ready to give up on this team. It was a rough start to the season, but this fire under them right now is incredible. Sweeping the double header Wednesday showed just how much grit this team has, and I think it\u2019s safe to say Rocco\u2019s no longer on the chopping block. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the rest of the AL Central continues to win ballgames. The Twins now sit three games above .500 at 23-20. The Tigers have the best record in baseball 29-15 and lead the charge in the division. The Twins are 5.5 back. A fun thing to see though, and something I like to point out to my Yankees friends, largely because of their success against the Orioles, and then taking two of three from the Red Sox, the Twins are 7-1 against AL East teams. <\/p>\n
Two things to keep an eye on as we head into the series finale:<\/p>\n
Ty France left the first game yesterday with a foot issue. Harrison Bader left with groin tightness.<\/p>\n
A third thing, but for the O\u2019s… infielder Ramon Urias joins the team again after being the IL with a hamstring injury. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"First Pitch: 11:35 AM CT TV: Twins.TV Radio: TIBN Orioles page: McCovey Chronicles Twins win two.
