First Impressions:
- Does it bother anyone else that Aaron Hicks is not a must start? The Twins are likely going to be looking at him for the LF spot next year, why not continue to find out what he can do.
- The increased ability at the plate from Oswaldo Arcia has been nice to see, Tom Brunansky should be commended for that job.
- Trevor Plouffe has also done a nice job contributing the last few months, the Twins have to be excited about that.
- How crazy is it that the Tigers have played so well with guys like Austin Romine filling in for the injured Jose Iglesias all year?
Game Details:
First pitch tonight is scheduled for 7:10 pm from Target Field. The game can be seen on Fox Sports North and heard on the Twins Radio Network.
