Minnesota at Kansas City

Ervin Santana pitched only two innings on Monday against Baltimore due to a rain delay and gave up no runs and two hits. The right-hander pitched well against Kansas City last season allowing just four runs in 15 innings with a .143 opponent batting average. Yordano Ventura is coming off a 13-8 season and last year in April he had a 4.94 ERA and didn't really hit his stride until August. This is a good chance for Minnesota to get its first win as the Royals are 28th in the majors in OBP after two games and were shut down by Noah Syndergaard and the Mets on Wednesday. Take the Twins.
