The Twins lead in the AL Central

Just to clarify, it’s not time to panic, yet. But as the Twins have scuffled over the past week, the Cleveland Indians have started to hit their stride. Part of that is a product of a schedule that has lightened up as the Indians played a solid, but not spectacular Texas squad and a Detroit lineup that sits at toward the bottom of the division.

The Twins’ lead sits at eight games entering Monday, but there’s still plenty of reasons to be optimistic about this team. Odds are the Twins will make a move to improve this team and, as mentioned in the intro, they will get some of their key players after a quick stint on the injured list.

Overall, this was a tough week for the Twins, but they’ll figure out how to bounce back after a much needed day off on Monday. So, don’t worry, Twins fans. The sky is not falling…yet.
