The Twins and Cardinals begin a three-game weekend series rife with postseason implications on Friday night.
Every game is of extreme importance for Minnesota, fighting not only for an American League wild card spot, but for the AL Central crown. Through play on Wednesday, the Twins trailed the first-place Guardians by 2.5 games; they were also even with the Royals in the second wild card spot.
Minnesota snapped a three-game losing streak with an emphatic 11-4 victory over San Diego on Wednesday. The Twins bashed 18 hits, with two players — outfielder Matt Wallner and infielder Eduardo Julien — recording four-hit games. Star third baseman Royce Lewis also drove in a pair of runs.
