Minnesota Twins at Cleveland Indians series preview

Throughout the first half of the season, the Minnesota Twins have felt comfortable on top of the American League Central division. Almost leading from wire-to-wire, the Twins have seen their lead atop the division balloon up to 11 1/2 games and the Indians never seemed like a threat to the point where there were rumors of Cleveland waving the white flag at the trade deadline.

Just as the Twins seemed to have a chokehold on the division, the Indians began to heat up. Cleveland has put together a record of 22-8 in their past 30 games and has gone from being 29-30 to 50-38 at the All-Star break.
