Neither team is scoring right now, and for the Twins, that has been an issue all season. Minnesota is giving the start to Sonny Gray. He doesn’t go deep in many games, but he does typically give his team a shot to win, allowing three or fewer runs in all 16 starts this season. Cole Irwin gets the honors for the Orioles, and while his overall numbers this season are dismal, he has looked better since returning to the Bigs with a 1.22 WHIP and 3.65 ERA.
