The Detroit Tigers aim for back-to-back victories when they face the Minnesota Twins for Game 2 on April 20 at 2:10 p.m. US EST at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Tigers will send 24-year-old Reese Olson (0-2, 3.86 with 14 Ks) to face against Bailey Ober (0-1, 6.57 ERA with 11 Ks). Detroit is now three games above .500 after a close 5-4 win over the Twins in Friday’s series opener. The Tigers carry a .217/.296/.336 batting line with 71 runs in 19 games while allowing the fourth-lowest ERA in majors at 3.11 with 1.11 WHIP and .209 BAA. The outcome of Friday’s series opener dealt the Twins their fourth consecutive loss. Despite already being 17 games into their season, Minnesota is still searching for ways to address their batting woes as they rank 30th in batting averages (.193), 27th in on-base percentage (.281), and 28th in slugging percentage (.330). The Twins’ pitching numbers aren’t as horrendous as their batting metrics but a 4.22 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and .251 BAA are still below league averages.
