Twins try to avoid getting swept by the Rockies in final game of series

Righthander Jose Berrios is on the mound for the nightcap as the Twins try to shake off a 5-1 loss in game one of the day-night doubleheader

May 18, 2017 at 10:44PM

Twins manager Paul Molitor planned to use all his position players during the day-night doubleheader. It would have helped if the Twins had won the first game.

But they didn't. And now they will try to avoid getting swept at home and suffering a fourth straight loss with an altered lineup in game two.

Righthander Drew Rucinski is here and will be the 26th man for this game.

Jose Berrios will try to be the man to stop the slide in his first Target Field appearance since being called up. He held Cleveland to one run over 72/3 innings in his season debut on Saturday in Cleveland.
