LOSS

Well, last night we saw something very rare. The third worst road team in the league faced the best home team and won. It's not that KC found a way to score. They put up just two runs. But, they blanked the Twins. Can it happen again? I say no way. Not with Luke Hudson on the mound. Hudson has a 9.65 ERA on the road this year and over his last three starts, he's been yanked early, going just 4.4 innings per start and allwoing 23 hits and 18 runs in just 13.3 total innings. KC's bullpen has a 5.68 road ERA. Expect Minnesota to find a way to score tonight. Can KC keep up? Doubtful. It's more likely they'll get about 2 runs again tonight. Boof Bonser has been just average but against KC's offense, that's good enough. One of the reasons for Minnesota's league-best home record is their bullpen which has a 12-2 record, 13-1 save record and 2.43 ERA at home. Twins here.
