Games of the Day
The Twins and Yankees open a three game series that will help determine the AL wild card winner. Twins and Yankees are ranked 2 and 3 in the race, with Minnesota ahead of New York by 1/2 game. They'll start the set with their oldest veterans. Brad Radke takes the hill for the Twins. Radke continues his outstanding control, having walked just 1 batter in his last four starts, and 10 in 133 IP on the year. He'll face Randy Johnson. One reason for Johnson's poor season are the hits falling in against him. His batting average allowed is 70 points higher than last year.
The Nationals and Braves are tied for the NL East lead, and they'll send their aces to the mound as Livan Hernandez faces John Smoltz, two oldies but goodies. Washington is leading the season series 6-3. Livan is on a bit of a losing streak as the Nationals went down to defeat in his last 3 starts. Meanwhile, the Braves have won Smoltz's last eight starts.
Enjoy!
