I like a good bunt, so we are featuring a bunt in the feature photo today. Even better when it worked! The Twins are taking on the Tigers this Monday after Jhoan Duran and the Phillies just took two of three from the Tigers. Duran closing the door on Friday and Sunday. Sunday he threw the fastest pitch ever recorded at Citizens Bank Park at 103.3 mph. Wow.
and he’ll probably set this record again at some point — that was the 41st pitch of Duran’s MLB career at 103.3 mph or faster (career max is 104.8 mph)pic.twitter.com/lSyx90moCO https://t.co/hAxLfMYe5k

Okay anyway, let’s talk about the game today.
The Minnesota Twins sit 12 games back in the American League Central standings.
The Minnesota Twins (52-59) and Detroit Tigers (65-48) open a three-game AL Central series today. The Twins have hit been in a bit of a rough patch, losing four of their last five despite edging the Cleveland Guardians 5-4 on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Tigers are coming off a 2-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies Sunday.
Detroit will send Casey Mize (9-4, 3.43 ERA) to the mound, while Minnesota counters with Travis Adams (1-1, 8.03 ERA).
Just a heads up, our website is going through some maintenance late this afternoon into tomorrow morning, so tonight there WILL NOT be a post-game recap article posted. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Let’s go Twins!
