This series marks a holiday rematch against the A’s who hosted the Minnesota Twins for a three-game set over Memorial Day.
The Twins are coming off a series victory over the American League-leading Texas Rangers. It was a successful offensive series for the Twins who scored 24 runs to the Rangers’ 12.
So common logic says they should have no issues taking down the struggling A’s, right?
Well the last time these two played, the Twins had a rough time getting some runs across the plate allowing the A’s to sweep all three games.
There have been a few changes for the Minnesota Twins since that series including a few roster moves as well as the rejuvenated performances of a couple key contributors.
