The offense is 18th in runs scored, 23rd in on-base percentage, and 16th in slugging, while the defense is 21st in fielding percentage. Kenta Maeda (9.00 ERA) hasn't pitched since April because of an injury with the team losing all four of his starts. The Twins are 7-19 against a starter with a WHIP higher than 1.30, plus 7-15 on the road versus a lefty starter. Detroit has won five of eight and plays its fourth consecutive home contest.
