At the All-Star Break, May had posted a 3.06 ERA, and was holding opposing hitters to a .596 OPS. Once play started in the second half, it quickly fell apart for Trevor May.

He just turned 21-years-old earlier this week, and the Twins gave him quite the belated birthday present.

Jonathan Schoop at Texas (8/16/19) 0.31 WPA
Schoop entered this game in the midst of what is likely the largest slump of his career. The Rangers had taken the lead in the previous half inning, but Schoop put the Twins back on top with this two-run blast.

Without diving too deep into the numbers, we can clearly see that both pitchers have hit a wall.

Last week I wrote that Detroit was a poor team and they were so offended by that statement that they decided to take the first game of that series and then subsequently lose every other game heading into this series.

Around the trade deadline, Minnesota knew it would need a bullpen upgrade to have any semblance of a chance in October. Adding Sam Dyson and Sergio Romo has certainly calmed some of the storm, but things haven&#x2019;t exactly been perfect for the new dynamic duo. Dyson spent tim...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8325</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Aug 2019 12:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
