Tonight's game between the Twins and Indians has been rained out. A traditional doubleheader will take place tomorrow, starting at 3:10 p.m. Central
Kyle Gibson will face Carlos Carrasco in Game One. Carrasco is coming off of a 1-hitter his last time out.
Mike Pelfrey will face Cody Anderson in Game Two. Pelfrey could be making his last start as a Twin.
The Twins are trying to surge, having won six of their last eight games. The problem is that Houston and the Angels have been winning too. This is going to get crazy, as Houston ends the season on the road (where they stink) and the Angels have four games at Texas to end the season.
I'm smelling tiebreaker Monday.
Cleveland is five games back in the wild card race, so a loss tonight coupled with a Houston win would officially eliminate the Tribe from wild card contention. For all practical purposes, last night's loss to the Twins ended Cleveland's dream.
Kyle Gibson should be in redemption mode tonight after getting knocked out in the third inning last week at Target Field against these same Indians.
Hearing we're going to have to deal with the threat of rain all night tonight, so get ready to hurry up and wait.
