Tigers’ Sluggers Look to Stay Hot in Divisional Clash vs. Twins
The best team in the American League will welcome a division rival to town for the first time since April as the Detroit Tigers open a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. Both teams are coming into the series feeling good about different aspects of their game, setting the stage for a compelling clash.
Riding the Wave
The Tigers boast the best record in the AL at 51-31, and their offense is getting key contributions at the perfect time. Slugging first baseman Spencer Torkelson, who had been in a slump, broke out in a big way on Thursday, blasting his 17th home run of the season.
“It felt good,” Torkelson said. “It’s baseball. Just the battle of the season. Just riding the wave.” With both him and Kerry Carpenter finding their power stroke recently, the Detroit lineup is as dangerous as ever.
Minnesota’s Pitching Turnaround
While the Tigers’ bats are hot, the Twins are riding a wave of dominant pitching. After a brutal start to the month, Minnesota is coming off back-to-back wins where their pitching staff has allowed just one total run. They shut out the Mariners 2-0 on Wednesday and followed it up with a 10-1 victory on Thursday.
“When your starting pitcher cools the other team down, it just gives you every opportunity to win the game,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said.
A Duel of Question Marks
Friday’s pitching matchup is filled with uncertainty. The Tigers are expected to give the ball to right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long (0-0, 4.58 ERA) for bulk innings, though manager A.J. Hinch has not committed to whether he will start or follow an opener. Gipson-Long has been impressive since returning from major surgery.
“If I keep throwing strikes, everything evens out,” he said of his approach.
The Twins have not yet officially announced a starter for the opener. This level of uncertainty on the mound for both sides makes the scores and odds for this game particularly fascinating.
Divisional Stakes
This series is a classic battle of strength vs. strength: the Tigers’ powerful lineup against the Twins’ suddenly stingy pitching.
