Cincinnati, Ohio. The Minnesota Twins are getting closer to the ultimate goal, the playoffs. At the start of baseball, you never know who’s going to be the best in the Central Division of the American League. The pundits were thinking about Cleveland and Chicago. They weren’t thinking about Rocco and the boys of summer. But as the year has gone along, the Twins have done nothing except get better. There are a few reasons for the Twins’ recent surge. Carlos Correa, who signed a six year deal with Minnesota, has been leading the attack. The starting pitchers have been improving and getting wins. The Twins are being patient at the dish, and waiting for their pitch.

The Reds were shut out 7-0 last night, and the Twins have a chance to win the series this morning. Their magic number to clinch the Division is now three.
