The Pittsburgh Pirates came out on top of their recent series with the NL West powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers, winning two out of three games. Will the winning form discovered in that series propel them to success in their upcoming series against the Minnesota Twins? The Pirates have had a so-so past seven games, winning four of those assignments. However, the back-to-back wins over the Dodgers, despite dropping the series finale 11-7, should give them enough momentum heading into their next series vs. the Twins. Pittsburgh remains dead last in the NL Central standings with a 29-33 record, trailing the division leader Milwaukee Brewers (36-26) by seven games. Meanwhile, the Twins will look to bounce back after being swept by the mighty New York Yankees in three games. After losing the series opener 5-1, Minnesota tried to make it a competitive ballgame in the next two matches but the Yankees’ firepower was too much. The Twins sit in third in the AL Central standings with a 33-29 record, 7.5 games below the current leader, the Cleveland Guardians (40-21).
Pitchers Matchup: Twins RHP Joe Ryan (4-4, 3.38 ERA with 77 strikeouts) will take on Pirates RHP Mitch Killer (7-3, 3.42 ERA with 66 strikeouts).
