at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico

TV: ESPN

Radio: WCCO 830, TIBN

Know Thine Enemy: Let's Go Tribe

Game 2 of the series between the Twins and Indians in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Sadly, much of the island is experiencing yet another total loss of electrical power. The game is still scheduled and you can read more details about this situation on the Twinkietown.com home page.

There have also been concerns of rain but it appears the game will still go on.

The Twins hope to split the series against division rival Cleveland Indians. Last night the Twins failed to do much against Corey Kluber after an extended snow day vacation.

Carlos Carrasco (3-0, 3.48 ERA, 0.871 WHIP)

Carrasco is coming off a 3 hit, 1 run complete game. He has been his usual consistent self so far this year.

Jose Berrios: (2-1, 2.18 ERA 0.629 WHIP)

Berrios has pitched great in every other game this year. Meaning hopefully tonight he can avoid that trend in front of his home state (yes Puerto Rico should be a state). He threw seven shutout innings with 11 strikeouts in his last start and leads the league with a freakin 24.0 SO/W ratio thus far.

Tonight's game gives me an opportunity to feature one of my favorite rock bands of the late 90's/early00's Puya, who hail from San Juan PR. They mix latin, funk, and groovy rock with Spanish and English lyrics and feature a horn section and a bunch of percussionists. They are like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones meets Sepultura meets Mr. Bungle meets Santana.

Here is one of their more funky/salsa/latin songs Mire Niño

And one of their more rockin' tunes Oasis

GO TWINS GO!!
