The Rays are hot, but the Twins are hotter.
The Rays are coming off a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays putting the team at .500 for the first time this season. The Twins though have won 16 of their last 19 and have only dropped five games in May, three on the road.
The Twins were on a 13-game winning streak that ended on May 17. The Rays started a 5-game winning streak on May 20. It’s currently the longest winning streak in baseball.
The Twins will need to get their bats going in Tampa. Against the Royals Sunday, despite the game ending in extra innings, the Twins made it there with only three hits.
We will see how things pan out in game one versus Tampa.
The Twins sit 4.5 games back in the AL Central.
Will Matt Wallner make his return this series?
It’s been a long time since Matt Wallner was in the Twins lineup (April 17.) He is continuing his rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul to begin this week. He is expected to join the team sometime along this road trip. He has appeared in three games for the Saints, hitting two home runs and is 5 for 12 at the plate.
Also news on why Harrison Bader is not in the lineup tonight….
Harrison Bader was in the original lineup, but was scratched with a sore finger. Rocco said Bader felt it on a swing, not the HBP. “I think he’s gonna be fine,” but said #MNTwins would be sure “he’s good to go before we send him out there.” https://t.co/fxcACZM73f
