Minnesota at Tampa Bay

Minnesota will lean on Pablo Lopez to snap a three-game losing streak and the Twins have won his past two starts although it they had to score a lot of runs to do it as Lopez allowed 10 runs in 11 1/3 innings. Lopez has done much better work on the road where he owns a 3.00 ERA and .211 opponent batting average compared to 6.11 and .256 in home games. Tampa Bay batters are 7-for-35 with one home run against Lopez. Shawn Armstrong will start a bullpen game for the Rays and it will be only his second appearance of the season. Minnesota has won seven of 10 after allowing at least five runs its previous game and six of eight overall in the second game of a series. However, go with the Twins on the run line - Max Play.
