Orlando Hudson's situation as it now stands: will join the club on Tuesday, team hopes for him to play in 2-3 days, according to GM Bill Smith. X-rays and a CT scan showed no new injury to his wrist. Everyone exhale.
The rest of your game info is after the jump:
The Twins ace has a personal three-game losing streak he's looking to snap (he had a no-decision in his last start against the Yankees).
Hey, why are you laughing? What? Oh, REAL MATURE, GUYS. He leads the American League in ERA, for pity's sake. Should be a good matchup.
Lineups:
That's not a typo behind Cuddyer's name.
Stuff:
- Tigers lost to the A's again today, so the Twins have a 4-game lead entering tonight's game.
- If you've watched any SportsCenter this weekend, you know that the Mariners have lost consecutive games on walk-off HRs. Yesterday's loss was particularly brutal, as Seattle led 7-2 after 6 innings. That said, Kendry Morales still probably feels worse.
- As cmathewson noted this AM, Seattle's struggles this year are NOT on their starting pitching. Felix Hernandez has the highest ERA of the four starters the Twins will face.
Enjoy the game, everyone.
