Minnesota Twins

In a pivotal matchup between AL Central contenders, the Minnesota Twins are set to face off against the Detroit Tigers in an exciting clash at Comerica Park. The Twins, currently leading the division with 38 wins, are determined to maintain their stronghold, while the Tigers aim to close the gap and challenge for the top spot.
With five victories in their last ten games, the Twins entered this series with a two-game winning streak, displaying a competitive edge.
