The Twins will try to avoid a sweep today.
Doesn’t it seem like we’re saying that a lot lately?
I’ll be watching the Vikings, so I probably won’t be paying much attention to what’s going on at Target Field today. Then again, thanks to the Twins and MLB’s blackout policy, it’s not like I have the option of watching the Twins anyway.
As baseball matters go, I’m actually a lot more interested in how the Rochester Red Wings do today. They’re in the 5th game of a best-of-five playoff series with Pawtucket and playing for the chance to advance in the International League postseason.
Anyway, let’s see how Andrew Albers does today. Given how much use the Twins bullpen has gotten lately, I’m sure they could use a 7-8 inning day out of Albers.

Andrew Albers did very well today. Almost everyone else in a Twins uniform did not.
The Twins have now lost 10 straight games at home. Not too hard to understand why there were some audible boos from the Target Field crowd.
