The last game of the MLB series between Minnesota Twins and Cincinnati Reds will be played next Sunday, September 15th at 11:05 am Central Time. This confrontation is key for Minnesota, because even when they still have great chances of qualifying to the playoffs as a Wild Card, their current performance has been totally disappointing.
In this regard, Minnesota Twins lost the first game of the series against the Reds, so they currently are 3 games behind Kansas City Royals in the AL Central Division, and only 2.5 games above Detroit Tigers. That huge level of pressure must push Willi Castro to recover his best level, because even when he has scored 81 runs throughout the season, he was only able to score 2 runs in his last 7 played games.
On Cincinnati Reds’ case, they currently are in the fourth spot of the NL Central Division with practically no chances to recover as they’re 10 games behind the Wild Card spots. Even so, they still keep their competitive spirit alive, having in Elly De La Cruz their best performer of the season with 97 scored runs and 24 home runs. Nonetheless, he has only been able to score 2 runs and 1 home run during his last 7 games.
