The Minnesota twins will scan three games against Chicago Cubs when the teams will meet Thursday afternoon in their standard final in Minneapolis.
The twins win consecutive victories-8-1 Tuesday and 4-2 Wednesday. The Minnesota has won four of its last five games to climb into two 0,500 games with four games to play before the stars break.
The manager of Twins, Rocco Baldelli, congratulated his players for being aggressive on the basic basins during Wednesday’s victory against the Cubs. This is something he wants to see continue on Thursday.
On a game, Ryan Jeffers loaded hard towards the third goal and was agitated by the third base coach Tommy Watkins. On another game, Royce Lewis scored on a delayed flight after Matt Wallner was taken in an overview between the first and the second goal and Lewis took off for the house.
Baldelli said it was important to make races against quality opponents such as Cubs. He noted that Jeffers could have been thrown on the plate without a delayed relay jet.
“You will have to find a way to push a few races,” said Baldelli. “They will not all come easily.
“If the relay is executed properly (with Jeffers trying to score), who knows, maybe we have come out. But you know what? You put pressure on the other side, do something.”
Meanwhile, the Cubs are impatient to do something to do something on the plate.
Chicago scored only three points in the two games against the Twins. This is a significant difference in their previous series, when they scored 28 points in three games against their rival division St. Louis Cardinals.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said it was important that his strikers go to better departures.
“It was again a quiet night,” said Counsell. “The twins have a very good enclosure, so it’s a bit inherent that you get their beginners. And the first two days of the series, we didn’t do it.”
The next chance of the Cubs will occur against the right-handed of the twins Chris Paddack (3-7, 4.64 ERA), who will make his 19th start of the season. Friday, he left a decision without a decision against the Rays of Tampa Bay when he granted two points in five strokes in five rounds.
Paddack made two starts against the cubs in his career. It is 1-1 with an MPM of 4.35 in these matches, with 13 stick withdrawals and two steps in 10 1/3 sleeves.
The right-handed of the Colin Rea Cubs (6-3, 4.13) will seek to help his team avoid scanning. Rea seeks his third consecutive victory after defeating the Houston Astros and the Cardinals in his last two departures.
REA left the Twins in 2023. He took the defeat after abandoning four points over five strokes in five rounds.
The voltiseur of the twins byron Buxton could be unavailable in the final of the series after being struck on the little left finger by a throw on Tuesday. He first stayed in the game before leaving.
Buxton, who should participate in the star game festivities next week, should not run out of considerable time after being hit on the finger.
“It looks like he’s going to go well,” said Baldelli. “He did the imagery and it came back well. He was quite endolori, however, so we will see (about Thursday).”
