Brady Singer did not make the opening day starting rotation. This was not incredibly shocking, though it was disappointing. But he made the most of it, heading down to AAA and throwing his changeup with greater frequency. Because Kris Bubic and Carlos Hernández couldn’t hold down their rotation spots, he’s back, and the changeup has paid immediately dividends. In two starts he has yet to allow a run in 14 total innings. How long can he keep it up? Hopefully quite a bit longer, because I’d like to watch a good game, today.
The Twins will counter with Chris Archer who is not the phenom he once once was with the Rays but he’s been serviceable for the Twins.
