The Minnesota Twins are on the verge of being swept today by the AL Central’s worst, the Kansas City Royals, at The K, but not so fast. With the Guardians breathing down their necks for first place in the AL Central, they cannot afford to let that happen. The Twins will turn to Kenta Maeda to throw strikes. Maeda’s numbers do not look good at 2-5 with a 4.62 ERA. However, since returning from the IL he has been delivering and is 3-0 in his last 3 starts against the Royals, plus Minnesota is 4-0 in his last 4 turns overall. Ryan Yarbrough is the expected starter for KC. He is 3-5 with a 4.70 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. If Minnesota can’t get to this guy, they have problems.
