The Minnesota
Twins have dropped 10 straight games to the Detroit Tigers, yet there is high
hope that they will avoid 11th straight loss to Detroit tonight. While
Minnesota's playoff hopes dwindle a little more with each passing game they are
still in striking distance and are known for huge second half runs. There is
not a player on the Twins team that isn't aware of the current losing streak to
the Tigers and I expect they will be focused on ending the Detroit drought tonight and
pitching match up seems to weigh heavily in their favor of doing just that.
Despite
a good 10-5 record Detroit right-hander Max
Scgerzer has been less than dazzling this season, especially on the road. He
has given up 130 hits in 119 innings pitched and has been trending down over
the past two months. His ERA was 3.86 on May 26 and has gone up over 1/2 run
per game over the past two months.
Scherzer
has been terrible on the road with a 5.87 ERA in eight road appearances. He has
also been terrible against Minnesota going 0-1 with a
miserable 9.13 ERA in four starts vs. the Twins.
Minnesota left-hander Brian
Duensing has been terrific as of late. In his last three starts he has allowed
just five total runs over 22 1/3 innings pitched. On May 31 Duensing's ERA was
5.37. Six weeks later he has shaved over a run per game off his ERA and
has been the most consistent starter for the Twins over the past two months.
Duensing
has a 3.94 ERA in 14 lifetime appearances versus the Tigers, including five
starts.
The
Twins could have Jason Kubel back in the lineup tonight after activating off
the disabled list following last night's loss. Kubel has been out since late
May with a sprained left foot. Kubel's return should be a lift for the
lineup.
