Well, the Twins were able to sweep the Nats and finally get their record back over 500 for the first time in over a week. Even though the Nats are the worst team in the National League, a sweep is still a sweep and I think the Twins will take it any day. After a game one close fight, the Twins were able to blow out the Nats in games 2 and 3 showing they were the better team. Kubel, Morneau, Mauer and Cuddyer are all swinging a hot bat right now and the pitching staff put together 3 quality starts in a row. So at least we have momentum going into a series with the D-backs.
I used to live in Arizona and somewhat followed the D-bakcs last year. They have a good young lineup and good pitching but have definitely fallen off from their hot start. The lineup isn't scary at all and its reasonable to think that the Twins starters could shut them down. Will the Twins be able to hit off the D-backs starters? Lefty Randy Johnson is on the hill tonight and I can predict the Twins lefty strong lineup will have some trouble with him. It should be an interesting series against a team the Twins have rarely ever faced.
