Minnesota at Tampa Bay

First-place Minnesota's pitching is vastly improved from a year ago, Top 10 in the majors in ERA with a staff that is also Top 10 in the fewest walks allowed. The Twins are on a 7-1 run and have a live arm going in Chris Archer (3.18 ERA). Minnesota is also 10-4 on the road after a game where they had 4 or fewer hits. Tampa Bay is still a bit short-handed behind the plate with catcher Francisco Mejia on the COVID-19 injured list and the team is 16-26 after allowing 2 or fewer runs in three consecutive contests. Play Minnesota.
