First Pitch: 3:10 pm CST
TV: FOX
Radio: Twins Radio Network
Know Thine Enemy: Lonestar Ball
The Twins have looked awfully meager against the Rangers thus far, getting blown out in both of the first two games of this series. They look for Brian Duensing to turn around their fortunes, but it will be tough as they'll have to face the new acquisition for the Rangers, Ryan Dempster. Even though Dempster has struggled thus far for the Rangers, you have to figure that eventually he'll return to some semblance of his form while he was with the Cubs.
Denard Span's back in the lineup, making this his 2nd appearance in.... 13 days? 14? I still think the Twins should have just DL'd him, but whatever.
