The Twins have already secured their first series win of the season and they’ll go for their first sweep of the season as they try to take game four against Jack Flaherty and the Tigers. Both Flaherty and Twins starting pitcher Mick Abel have great stuff, but have struggled in their first few starts of the young season. With both bullpens pretty taxed after short starts and bullpen struggles, whichever starter can last the longest will likely emerge victorious.

One way or another, expect a heavy dose of new Twin Garrett Acton this afternoon.
Meanwhile, Luke Keaschall gets his first day off of the season amid this stretch of 15 straight days with a game. He is likely available off the bench to pinch hit against a lefty, but I would expect Austin Martin up first as they try to get him completely off his feet for the day. As talented as he is, it’s important to remember he’s never played over 103 games in a season due to his various arm injuries and it does no one any favors to wear him down in April.
Let’s sweep this series up and head to Toronto!
