MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins are on top of the American League Central but haven’t controlled their own home field.
The Kansas City Royals are just trying to get some momentum at the bottom of the division and haven’t played well on the road.
Both teams managed to avoid being swept on Thursday and will look to gain traction when they start a series at Target Field on Friday.
The Twins salvaged the second game of a Thursday doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies as Jose Berrios had the best outing of his short major league career with a career-high 11 strikeouts in a 2-0 win.
