The Cincinnati Reds (34-40) return home to host the Minnesota Twins (40-35) for a three game series at GABP. The Twins are in second place in the AL Central, 5.5 games behind the Kansas City Royals’ best record in the American League. The Twins are also currently sitting outside the AL Wild Card picture just one-half game behind the Yankees for the second wild card spot.
At the moment, it is a very tight playoff race in the American League. The Tampa Bay Rays are in a virtual tie with the Baltimore Orioles and are in second place by just percentage points.
