Minnesota Twins vs. Texas Rangers could be first 3 game sweep in weeks

Although the rain this week in Minneapolis would have you thinking that it was either the beginning or end of the baseball season, mid-summer baseball has been in full swing in Texas this week and it seems that all my Twins needed was a little warm weather to remind them that they are a winning ball club that CAN play on the road.

After a disappointing end to July and early August, the Twins proved this week that they can be the team we all know and love. On Tuesday night in Texas the Minnesota Twins beat the Rangers 9-6 and then came back yesterday to hand it to the Rangers again with a final score 5-4. If the the Twins can pull out a third victory tonight (the play @7:05 CDT) this would be the first 3 game sweep since the played the Chicago White Sox in July.

With Mauer's batting White-Hot right now and Morneau on the mend this could be just the jump start the Twins need to take them through the rest of the season. Watch the Twins play the Rangers tonight at 7:05 Central Time.
