And so it begins. Again.
The Cleveland Guardians and Minnesota Twins begin a 13-game season series today with a three-game set in Minnesota, including the Twins' home opener today. As these teams are seen as the best teams in the AL Central, each game between the two clubs feels a little more significant than the average April contest. It takes only seven wins to win the season series and achieve a big tiebreaker.
The Guardians enter the series flying high at 5-2, after taking 3 of 4 from the Oakland A's and 2 of 3 from the Seattle Mariners.
