Through 40 plate appearances, Luis is hitting .212/.289/.212 (.501) with a wRC+ of just 49. This is largely due to him having just one hit in his last 22 plate appearances before the Twins traveled to Pittsburgh. He seems to be...9659Wed, 05 Aug 2020 20:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-notebook-85-twins-travel-to-pittsburgh-for-two-game-stint-r9661/LAST NIGHT’S GAME RECAP MIN 7, PIT 3: José Berríos Overcomes Command, Drone TODAY Twins @ Pittsburgh, 6:05 pm CT Betting Lines: MIN -180, PIT +155, O/U 9 Twins Starter: Randy Dobnak, RHP 1.00 ERA Randy Dobnak totes the mound for the Twins tonight in Pittsburgh.

Cleveland hitters managed just one hit over six innings and it was a questionable one at that.
