No Max Kepler (chest) or C.J. Cron (thumb) tonight. Luis Arraez (pictured) will play left field and Ryan LaMarre center, with Eddie Rosario in right. The Twins won 5-3 on Monday night.

Cleveland, five games behind, plays host to Detroit tonight with the Twins' magic number at eight.

Chicago's All-Star starter Lucas Giolito has been shut down for the season, so Ross Detwiler (2-5, 6.79 ERA) will be on the bump for the Sox.

Martin Perez (10-7, 4.89) starts for the Twins.
