The Royals absolutely demolished the Twins last night. This afternoon is when we find out if all that baserunning has worn them out too much to win today’s game. Also, no, Adalberto Mondesi still is not in the starting lineup.
Mike Minor takes the mound for KC. After a slow start to the year he has put together three starts out of his last where he wasn’t half bad. He’s also on a streak of five starts in a row with at least seven strikeouts. Minor is one of only four Royals pitchers who has not yet faced the Twins this season along with the injured Jesse Hahn and Josh Staumont and the ineffective Daniel Lynch.
