Devin Smeltzer was sent to the Red Wings last night after a four-inning save in a victory over the Rangers.

The Twins and Rangers play again today (7:05 p.m., FSN) with Jake Odorizzi (13-5, 3.44 ERA) facing Rangers All-Star lefty Mike Minor (11-6, 2.90).

Pregame reading:

Texas hurt itself, and helped Smeltzer, with strange baserunning last night. And Willians Astudillo started his rehab assignment in style. Finally, here's Randball on Luis Arraez's amazing season.
