Joe Mauer is not playing today because he hurt his leg running into Rickie Weeks last Sunday. Matt Capps is unavailable because his shoulder is sore. Got it? Good.
Your starting pitchers:
In his last outing, Scott Diamond went six innings and gave up four earned runs. However, Diamond gave a quality start in his last four games before that, and he's been the Twins most consistent starter. Diamond in the rough pun here.
Kevin Correia has not won a game at PNC Park since June 22, 2011. Wins are a meaningless stat diatribe here.
