The Twins have dropped four straight coming into today, scoring just six runs in the four games. The Tigers have lost five of their last seven, being held to 2 runs or less in those five games. Today’s pitching matchup looks like it should lead to some runs. Both men are pushing a 5.00 ERA or higher. However, Sanchez has had solid starts in three of his last four outings. He should be okay against Minnesota. The Tigers are coming off a 10-run performance on Sunday, so perhaps it will lead to a spark at the plate against Gibson.
