They took 2 games from the equally anemic White Sox, but Minnesota’s bats are still MIA. They outscored Chicago 4-3 in their latest series and are now 20 runs behind the Athletics and 31 runs back of the Seattle Mariners in the AL rankings. San Diego has scored 97 runs, though they have played 2 more games, leaving the Twins dead last in all of baseball when it comes to crossing home plate.

Boston can relate to getting off to a slow start. On April 15th they were just 2-10 but they’ve gone 12-7 since. The Red Sox found the switch and flipped it. The Twins are still stumbling around upstairs in the dark, a fuse has blown and the fuse box is in the basement. I still believe in this team, but with every passing day the part of me that wonders why grows just a little bit.

Anyway, helping me out on this preview are BoSox Injection Staff Writer, Derek Stykalo, and Puckett’s Pond staffer Adam Krueger. Derek is obviously tackling the Red Sox side of things while Adam was kind enough to answer Derek’s 3 Twins questions. He also provided the content for the pitching matchups.
