It surprises no one that the last two nights have resulted in double-digit run outputs for Minnesota. The White Sox are on pace to surpass 100 losses, so losing in embarrassing fashion to the division leader makes sense.
You know what also makes sense? The starter from Tuesday’s nightcap against Kansas City is starting on just three days’ rest after giving up eight runs. Actually, that probably doesn’t make much sense, but when only two-fifths of your starting rotation from Opening Day is still intact, things like this happen.
And so, Touki Toussaint will get the start this evening at 35th & Shields.
