If it feels like the Indians were just in town, well, it’s because they were. Cleveland swept the Twins in four games last weekend to take sole possession of the AL Central.
Despite the ugly series, the Twins are only 2.5 games behind the Indians and could take back their claim as the division frontrunner by sweeping them in a three-game series this weekend, which begins Friday night.
That’s the plan, anyway, for the Twins and their reliable slugging infielder, Brian Dozier.
Since 2014, Brian Dozier has arguably been MLB’s best second baseman. Dozier wears a steady glove that’s good for the occasional flashy play in the field, and his production at the plate ranks at the top of the league at his position.
