The Minnesota Twins are on the doorstep of their first American League Central division title in nine years, but as they inch closer to taking home that accolade, they continue to run into a series of teams looking to play spoiler.
After taking two of three games from the Chicago White Sox earlier this week, the Twins will host the Kansas City Royals for a four-game set that will be their final home series of the regular season. Although the Twins have the advantage against the Royals on paper, this series could be another trap thrown in Minnesota’s plans to take home the division and rest some starters.
