The Minnesota Twins will try to slow down the red hot San Francisco Giants when they play the middle game of their 3-game set tonight at Target Field. The Giants are 6-1 in their last 7 and won the opener, 4-1, but are still just 8-13 on the road. They will have to face the Twins ace, Sonny Gray, and that is always difficult. Gray is a perfect 4-0 with a 1.64 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. The Giants will send Alex Cobb to the hill and he has also been dealing. Cobb is 3-1 with a 1.94 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. The Twins have only 2 wins in their last 7 games but 4 of those losses came on the road and they are a different team in Minneapolis. Minnesota is 14-9 at Target Field and 4-0 in their last 4 in game 2 of a series.
