The Minnesota Twins looked like they were ready to run away with the AL Central early on in the shortened 60-game season, getting off to a 10-2 start with one of baseball’s scariest offenses.
Then, because nothing makes sense this year, the Twins got swept in Kansas City over the weekend and come into Milwaukee tonight on a 4-game losing streak. That’s allowed Detroit (again, this is a dumb year) and Cleveland to move within a half-game of first place.
Don’t let the sweep at the hands of the Royals (who started the year 3-10) lull you into a false sense of security into this series.
