MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (SportsDirect Inc.) — The Minnesota Twins look to complete their third sweep of the season when they host the Miami Marlins on Thursday in the finale of their three-game interleague series.
Minnesota, which also won three straight against the Los Angeles Angels in April and Seattle last month, has posted a pair of two-run victories over Miami – including a 7-5 triumph on Wednesday in which Trevor Plouffe recorded his third RBI of the contest with a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning.
The Twins are hoping it was the beginning of big things from Plouffe, who belted his first homer since May 10 and had driven in only three runs since that blast.
