After picking up key series wins over the weekend, the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins meet in an equally important series for both teams.
Tonight's opener sees Brayan Bello make his latest attempt at picking up his first MLB win, with Dylan Bundy looking to end August on a winning note after a few solid starts this month.
Boston makes the trip to Minnesota after winning two of three at home against the Tampa Bay Rays. A sweep would have been more helpful, but they were unable to break out the brooms in yesterday's finale. They are still seven games out of the final AL wild-card spo t, but the outlook features a shade more optimism than it did entering the series.
The Twins, meanwhile, did break out the brooms at home against the struggling San Francisco Giants. With the Cleveland Guardians losing three of four to the Mariners in Seattle, Minnesota is now just two games behind the Guardians in the AL Central.
