Twins Too Tough At Home
With a definite home field advantage and facing a Cleveland crew going nowhere fast, Minnesota is the play tonight.
By: Marc Lawrence
The Twins will try and continue their second half surge having won the money on 30 out of 40 tries as home favorites this season.
Taking the hill for Minnesota will be right-hander Carlos Silva (8-10, 6.41). He's coming off a loss at home to Toronto in his last start, but had pitched well in three previous starts before that, all of them wins. A control freak, Silva has issued just nine free passes in his last 10 outings.
Cleveland will counter with Cliff Lee who owns a road ERA of nearly five this season. The right-hander from Arkansas is coming off a win against the Angels in his last start, but the Indians lost his four starts before that.
The Tribe is going nowhere fast, so we'll stay at home with the Twins here tonight.
