Announcement
I was fortunate enough to have been interviewed by Fox 9 about this project I have been working on and it airs tonight at 5:15pmCT and 6:15pmCT before the game for those who want to tune in to watch it. I am so appreciative of all of you watching Virtual Twins baseball along with me and I can't wait for the real team to get back out there.

 

Catch-Up
The Twins have outscored the Giants 22-5 in their last two games and will look for the sweep today as they send Jake Odorizzi on the mound versus former Chicago White Sox starter Jeff Samardzija.

Storylines
1. With an off-day looming, the Bomba Squad and Jake Odorizzi will look for their third sweep of the year and first in front of their home crowd at Target Field.
2. Garver doesn't break the Twins record yesterday, but Sano goes off with two Bombas and will get a much deserved day off before heading into the weekend series with Kansas City.
3. Thank you to each and every single one of you who have tuned in, it means the world to me and this will stop cold-turkey once real baseball is back; but until then I will be here and thank you all for enjoying as much as I have up here in the booth.
