The Twins arrive in Houston after a couple of weeks of spiraling. They haven’t logged back to back wins in over two weeks and are sporting a 4-7 record in their last 4 series. Minnesota is a far cry from the competitor they were supposed to be at the beginning of the season, having already sold off several valuable trade pieces including Astros acquisition Ryan Pressly. They would get pounded pretty hard in their most recent series against Arlington, surrendering 32 runs in three games with 18 coming in a rout this past Sunday.
While the record may be depressed, there are a few players on Minnesota’s roster who have been performing at a high level in the last week.
