Twins seek to end nine-game losing streak vs. Dodgers tonight

LOS ANGELES — The Twins finish their two-game set at Dodger Stadium tonight as they struggle to stay in first in the AL Central.

After a 10-3 loss on Tuesday, the Twins dropped into a first-place tie with the Guardians. They are 1-5 in their past six road games.

The Dodgers have a nine-game win streak against the Twins dating to April, 2014.

Sonny Gray (6-3, 3.19 ERA) pitches for the Twins against Dodgers rookie Ryan Pepiot (1-0, 2.76).

Pepiot, a righthander, is up from Oklahoma City to make his fifth start of the season for the majors' winningest team.

Byron Buxton, who hit a two-run homer for the Twins on Tuesday, is not in the lineup tonight. The Twins have an off-day tomorrow before playing the Angels in a three-game series in Anaheim.
