First Pitch: 12:10 pm CT TV: FSN MLBN, FSD Radio: Go 96.3 FM, TIBN Know Thine Enemy: Bless You Boys Weather: Sunny, 72°F
The Tigers (67-59) have taken the first two games from the Twins (49-77) but the Twins are due, I can feel it. Win number 50 is right around the corner. If you take away all of the runs the Tigers have scored, the Twins would have won the first two games in shutouts. The Tigers luck can't hold out forever.
Jose "It Takes a Village" Berrios (RHP, 2-3, 9.28 ERA) is starting for the Twins. Jose has still been having issues with control that have dogged him, Berrios faced the Tigers last May, they hit him so hard, he spent the next two and a half months in Rochester. He didn't make it out of the first inning in that one, coughing up seven runs, on three hits and four walks. So remember Jose, downward plane, keep the elbow in, push off with the foot, the flower goes in front, pick up the pace, breathe through your eyelids, and try to relax or else...
Motivational speaker, Daniel Norris (LHP, 1-2, 3.81 ERA) pitches for the Tigers today. Norris was a top prospect for the Jays who's had some control issues and injuries with Detroit. He most recently had a rehab stint for a strained right oblique in July. Since getting called back up, he's given up five runs in total over his last three starts, but 21 hits in those 15 1/3 innings. Norris is also known for living in a van down by the river Walmart in the off season.
