It’s the last regular season meeting between these two ball clubs and Minnesota is looking to salvage the end of a five-game series with the Guardians.
The Twins playoff hopes may be fading away but for Cleveland, the wins are crucial for them to stay on top of the American League Central Division.
Minnesota Twins
The Twins dropped the first 3 games of this series which included a double-header on Saturday. Sunday though, they came out with the 3-0 win and are now 6 games back of the Division leading Guardians.
Minnesota are now 73-73 on the year with a cringe worthy 30-41 away record. The Wildcard is not going to be their route to the postseason if they make it as they are 7.5 games back of the final spot.
The offence has been spotty and they’ve had to rely heavily on their pitching to get them out of ball games. That includes Sonny Gray who is 8-4 with a 2.83 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP on the year. Over his last 10 contests, he’s allowed more than 2 earned runs just once, which came over a month ago against the Dodgers.
Gray has looked good in September with a 1.59 ERA over his last 3 starts this month. He’s put up 7 or more strikeouts in each of his last two starts. In his most recent game, he faced the Royals and finished with just 3 hits against and no runs over 7.0 innings of work.
The bullpen would go on to back him up for the 4-0 shutout victory. Speaking of the pen, they have an ERA below 4.00 putting them in the middle of the pack across the Majors.
Cleveland Guardians
Overall on the season, Cleveland is a cool 79-67 and have a 3.5 game lead on the White Sox for the A.L. Central Division lead.
They have a home record of 39-32 this season and are starting Cal Quantrill. He has a 12-5 record to go with a 3.51 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP on the year.
Quantrill is on an 8 game win streak when factoring in the decision and has allowed more than 2 earned runs just twice in his last eight starts.
For September, he has an ERA of 3.60, but that’s mostly due to a 3.0 inning game against the Mariners at the beginning of the month where he allowed 3 runs on 5 hits.
