You’re not going to believe this, but the Twins are facing a left-handed starter once again. Even more suprising: it’s once again one of the best starters in the sport. The good news is the Twins have already conquered Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez in the past week, so how much harder could Garrett Crochet be?

The other good news: your Minnesota Twins are in first place, tied atop both the AL Central and American League standings with the dreaded Cleveland Guardians. Sure, every team in the AL has between six and nine wins, but this is about two weeks later than I thought the Twins would be able to claim a top spot in the standings. They’ll look to keep the good vibes going tonight!
