Division foes face-off as the Minnesota Twins aim to restart their winning streak against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday.
Winners of six of their last eight games, the Minnesota Twins return to Progressive Field on Wednesday night for an American League Central Division tilt against the host Cleveland Guardians for the third game of their four-game mid-week series. The Guardians snapped a three-game losing streak with a narrow 2-1 win on Tuesday and are in search of their first winning streak since their season-best five-straight winning streak ended last week. The Twins will start right-hander Pablo Lopez (2-1, 2.08 ERA) who is looking for his third win in his last four starts, having allowed two earned runs or less in each of his first four outings.
