The Pitchers: RHP Jose berrios (7-2, 3.52 ERA, 96K) vs LHP Carlos Rodon (6-3, 2.37 ERA, 122 K)

This matchup features the best arms on both ball clubs, and while that isn’t shocking on the Twins side of things, it is for the white sox. Rodon has battled injuries and poor performance in the past, but has been lights out in his contract year. The lefty is throwing as hard as he ever has, and the slider is an absolute weapon. Berrios has been as consistent as we’ve seen him, but struggled last time out against the Sox. Are the trade rumors weighing on him?

Lineups

Twins

1. Luis Arraez 3B
2. Jorge Polanco 2B
3. Nelson Cruz DH
4. Alex Kirilloff LF
5. Ryan Jeffers C
6. Max Kepler RF
7. Miguel Sano 1B
8. Gilberto Celestino CF
9. Andrelton Simmons SS

white Sox


1. Adam Eaton RF
2. Yoan Moncada 3B
3. Jose Abreu 1B
4. Brian Goodwin CF
5. Leury Garcia 2B
6. Gavin Sheets DH
7. Andrew Vaughn LF
8. Zack Collins C
9. Danny Mendick SS

 

The biggest news in tonight’s lineup is that the White Sox are without backstop Yasmini Grandal after he exited last nights ballgame and was placed on the 10 Day IL list this afternoon. The sox are already dealing with a fair share of injuries, and losing one of their most productive hitters doesn’t help. The twins run out a similar lineup to what we’ve seen as of late, but no Trevor Larnach against the southpaw. Max Kepler is still on the card after homering 3 times in the past 2 days.

Berrios needs to come to play today.  It would be great to see him actually come up big against a division rival regardless of how the season is going.

Ha, no way he's traded in the next 5-14 days (whenever his next start would be), but that is an awesome take, so I give you two thumbs up for bravery.

Good Berrios is here today! 

Sarcasm don't disabled on my phone again? ?

Though, he was great in the first.  Tale of two innings.

This was working better when Berrios was just striking everyone out.  He didn't have to rely on his defense.

In review, our Twins managed to pack into one inning 2 walks, a throw from the catcher into CF to advance a runner 1 base on a walk, a botched throw from deep second base on a play where no Chicago baserunner was trying to advance which also then advances a runner 1 base, and a 2 out base hit to a lh hitter with 1st base now open and a rh hitter on deck. 

 

Did I miss anything?

That seems to cover it.  

It's alright though.  It coordinates well with an offense that sometimes requires a balk, a walk and a wild pitch to score a run.
