J.A. Happ takes the mound for the Twins today (12:10 p.m., BSN) as they finish a three-game series against the Tigers.
Happ (5-5, 6.14 ERA) faces righthander Wily Peralta (3-2, 2.56).
A rainy morning at Target Field has given way to clearing skies, with temperatures in the 90s expected.
Mitch Garver gave the Twins a big lead with a first-inning grand slam on Tuesday night, but later left the game after being hit on the right hand with a pitch. The Tigers rallied to tie on a ninth inning grand slam by Eric Haase — the first time in major league history starting catchers have hit grand slams in the same game — and won in 11 innings 6-5.
The Twins won by the same score on Monday night in 10.
X-rays on his hand were negative, but Garver is out today, and Josh Donaldson is getting a rest day.
The Twins have tomorrow off before starting a nine-game, 10-day road trip with a three-game set in St. Louis on Friday night.
The trade deadline is also Friday.
