Twins at D-backs
(MLB) Twins (MIN) vs. Diamondbacks (ARI),
Money Line: 106.00 Diamondbacks (ARI) (Home)
Result: Loss
We wondered aloud into this series if some of the recent Twins success had more to do with bullying bad teams than anything else. Minnesota had won 8 of 11 into Phoenix but almost all of that damage had come against the lowly Rockies and A's; indeed, the Twins haven't won a series against any other teams in more than three weeks. So no surprise the D-backs prevailed last night, and we come right back with Arizona because Wednesday starter Ryne Nelson has steadied on the mound in June, and has looked especially good in his last two Chase Field starts, allowing just 3 runs thru 13 2/3 IP (1.98 ERA). Note Twins counterpart Simeon Woods Richardson has experienced a downturn this month, posting a 4.35 ERA this month after entering June with a much-better 2.70 ERA. Play D-backs on Money Line
