Twins vs. Indians

The Minnesota Twins are a whopping 10.5 games behind the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central and they hold their fate in their own hands. With the Indians at the HHH Metrodome for a 3 game series, the Minnesota Twins need to gain some ground before it’s too late.

Last night, the Indians beat Twins ace pitcher Johan Santana once more as he gave up six hits and four runs in six innings. Indians pitcher C.C. Sabathia threw eight shutout innings to lead the Indians past the Twins 5-0. Santana is clearly still one of baseball's most dominant pitchers, but the Indians have not been intimidated one bit.

Twins newbie Kevin Slowey will take the mound tonight against Indians pitcher Aaron Laffer. Slowet has been successful in his previous starts for the Twins, but the Indians will be his toughest challenge yet. Head out to the Metrodome Minneapolis tonight for a 7:10 p.m. game. Good Twins Tickets are still available for less than $20 per ticket.
