The Oakland Athletics and Minnesota Twins face off on Sunday in an MLB showdown at Target Field. The Twins won the first two games of this series but there has been only three runs total.
Oakland Athletics
The A’s come into this game with a 10-17 record overall and they have gone 6-8 away from home. The pitching actually hasn’t been awful this series, but the offense needs to find a way to get going here.
The A’s are averaging 3.4 runs per game while giving up 4.04 runs per game. The offense is ranked 23rd in baseball while their pitching staff is ranked 15th. Catch Sean Murphy has been the top player hitting four home runs and driving in 15 RBIs.
On the mound for the A’s is Daulton Jefferies who sits with a 1-4 record and an ERA of 4.81. In his last start against the Rays he went five innings giving up 11 hits and six runs.
Minnesota Twins
On the other side of this matchup is the Minnesota Twins who sit with a 17-11 record overall and they have gone 11-17 on the run line. Coming into the season most believed the offense would be strong but there were some questions about the pitching. AT this point though it’s been the pitching that has been huge.
The Twins are averaging 4.03 runs per game while giving up 3.179 runs per game. The offense is ranked 17th while their pitching is ranked 3rd. Byron Buxton has been the top player hitting nine home runs and driving in 17 RBIs.
