Game Preview

The Minnesota Twins, fresh off a series win against the top-ranked Philadelphia Phillies, head into a weekend series against the Detroit Tigers starting Friday night, potentially bolstered by the return of two key players.

The Twins clinched their series against the Phillies with a 5-4 win on Wednesday, capped by Max Kepler’s walk-off infield single. "We’re grinding with what we have," Kepler noted, highlighting the team’s resilience despite numerous injuries. "It’s special with a group this young right now, to go through the stuff we’re going through against these top-tier teams."

Minnesota may see infielders Royce Lewis and Jose Miranda return from the injured list during the series. Lewis, who has been sidelined since July 2 with a right adductor strain, has shown promising power with 10 homers in just 24 games this season. Miranda, out since July 11 due to a lower back issue, was batting .325 at the time of his injury.

The return of these players could significantly enhance Minnesota’s lineup as they aim to close the gap with the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central. After a challenging start post-All-Star break with two losses to Milwaukee, the Twins bounced back against the Phillies.

Reflecting on the recent performance, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said, "I was glad the way that we came together these last three days against a really good team. Nobody let up. Nobody ever quits here, and the guys continue to play hard until we get the win."

The series opener against Detroit will feature Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez (8-7, 4.86 ERA), who is coming off a strong outing against the Brewers where he allowed just one run over seven innings, throwing a season-high 109 pitches.
