Somehow, as we coast into the middle of May, the Minnesota Twins own not only the best record in the AL Central, they lead all of Major League Baseball sitting at 25-14 — even after the weekend series where your Detroit Tigers strolled into the land of the Purple Rain and showed the Twins what it sounds like when doves cry.
The Tigers managed to split a four-game road tilt against what is, inexplicably, the best team in baseball right now. I’ll take my silver linings where I can get them. Up next are the Houston Astros, a series I’m sure will be a cakewalk.
