The Minnesota Twins start a series with the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon in what should be a strong pitching matchup.
The Minnesota Twins head into Detroit to take on their division rival on a high note after ending a four-game losing streak on Wednesday. This is the first time the Tigers and Twins will play one another this season in the first game of a four-game series. Minnesota lost its last two series and have a 4-6 record to start the season. They had some relief in their series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday. LA took the first two games but the Twins bounced back with a 3-2 victory at home. Edouard was the MVP of the game hitting two home runs to put Minnesota over the top. With a 3-2 lead in the top of the seventh, Minnesota gave up a knock to Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani rounded the bases from first. The Twins ran a perfect relay to shutdown Ohtani at home plate to preserve the lead.
