![]() The Twins, meanwhile, will host the AL East’s cellar dwellars, the Boston Red Sox (at 35-35), for a four-game set beginning Monday. After that, the Tigers will zip home to Detroit to host the Kansas City Royals - who have the worst record in MLB at 18-51 (a 42-win pace) - for a three-game set beginning Monday. Duran has been a buzzsaw for the Twins, striking out 35 over 26 innings while allowing just 13 hits and four earned runs, for a 1.38 ERA.Īfter today’s matinee, the Tigers and Twins wrap up the series with another 2:10 p.m. That includes hard-throwing right-hander Jhoan Duran, who’s in the 100 th percentile in velocity his four-seam fastball (which he throws 40.5% of the time) is averaging 101.9 mph, while his splitter is averaging 98.8 mph. That’s not ideal for Tigers hitters, though: While the Twins entered Friday with the majors’ fourth-best starting ERA (3.56), they also had the seventh-best relief ERA (3.62). The Twins haven’t announced their starter, so we should probably expect a lot of calls to the ’pen from both sides. “I Just want to help the team I think we have - y’know, all the guys just want to do what they can to, y’know, help the team be in a good position and, certainly, I fall in that category.” “I would say that I haven’t thrown the ball well enough to have a preference,” Wentz said Sunday. So which does Wentz prefer - starting, or serving as the supplier of “bulk innings?” He walked the first batter he faced, allowed a home run - gulp - then settled in and retired the next 12 batters he faced, departing the game in line for a win. Wentz did the heavy lifting in Sunday’s game, entering in the second inning and lasting 4⅓ innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Comerica Park. Then again Wentz hasn’t reached five innings of work since early May, so this could be something of a “bullpen game,” too. Game notes: It’s a start for left-hander Joey Wentz sandwiched between Friday’s and Sunday’s “bullpen game” plans. ![]() THURSDAY'S VICTORY: Matthew Boyd bounces back, Spencer Torkelson delivers in Detroit Tigers' 8-4 win vs. TIGERS NEWSLETTER: Who is to blame for this June swoon?
