Berrios is 9-5 with a nifty 2.94 ERA this season. Alcantara is 4-9 with a 4.18 ERA.

The Twins won 2-1 on Tuesday night to move three games ahead of Cleveland in AL Central. Losing pitcher Zac Gallen was traded today to Arizona as the Marlins, who sent Sergio Romo to the Twins on Saturday, were in full sell mode.
