NY Yankees (Vazquez) at Minnesota Twins (Blackburn) 8:10 EST
The Yankees look for a road sweep of the Minnesota Twins at Target Field tonight. After finishing a rain shortened game from Tuesday with a 1-0 win, the Yankees followed up with a 3-2 win last night. With that win New York has taken 11 of 12 from the Twins during the regular season dating back to last year, and they also swept them in 3 straight in last year's playoffs. The Yankees have had the Twin's number to say the least.
The Yankees send Javier Vasquez to the hill tonight. He has been shaky all year, 2-4 with a 6.75 ERA in 7 starts, although he has won his last 2 starts.
Nick Blackburn will be on the mound for the Twins. His numbers have been solid so far this season, 5-1 with a 4.50 ERA in 7 starts. In his last 3 he is a perfect 3-0 with a 2.54 ERA. Blackburn also got a win at Yankee stadum on May 16th, going 7 innings, giving up 9 hits and 3 runs in a 6-3 win over the Yankees. This has been the only win the Twins have had over the Yankees since 2008.
The Twins have now lost 3 straight - all by 1 run, and have been a horrendous 1-13 win runners in scoring position in the 2 losses to the Yankees.
With the Yankees struggling offensively on the road of late, they only have scored 13 runs in their last 5 road games, and an up and down Javier Vasquez pitching - look for the Twins to break out tonight with a steady Blackburn on the mound.
Plus, throw in a little extra motivation of not wanting to get swept again by the Yankees, something that has been very common in recent years.
This number opened at 5Dimes with the Yankees a -121 favorite. The Twins have seen steady action all day as they have gone from a +111 underdog to -105.
