The Tampa Bay Rays will visit the Minnesota Twins in the second game of their series in the American League East versus American League Central from Target Field on Saturday afternoon. The weather is expected to be very humid with a 76.2% chance of rain and 8.7 miles per hour winds.  

The Minnesota Twins are coming off of a 5 run loss against the Tampa Bay Rays  in their last game. Byron Buxton had his second straight two-homer game to help lead Minnesota to the win. Carlos Correa tacked on a two-run shot in the eighth inning. The series is at 1-0 in favor of the Minnesota Twins going into game 2. 

This was Buxton's eighth multi-homer game, and he became the fourth player in franchise history to do so.

Devin Smeltzer got the start for the Minnesota Twins. He has a 2.38 ERA, with 16 strikes and a .97 whip. He allowed only one other hit over six-plus innings and retired 10 straight batters at one point in the win.  

Chi Chi González will come up from Triple-A St. Paul to make the start in this one. 

The Tampa Bay Rays are coming off of a 1 run win against the St. Louis Cardinals in their last game. The series is at 1-0 in favor of the Minnesota Twins going into game 2. 

Drew Rasmussen got the start for the Tampa Bay Rays. He has a 3.41 ERA, with 49 strikes and a 1.14 whip. He was charged with seven runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings in the loss. 

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander, Shane Baz will be the starter for this one. He has a 2.03 ERA with 18 strikes and a .68. This will be his 2022 debut in the middle of this series . 

The Tampa Bay Rays are ten games over .500 at 34-24 on the season. They are also 6-4 in their last ten games. The Minnesota Twins are 4-6 in their last ten game and are 8 games over .500 at 34-26 on the season. I think the Tampa Bay Rays grab the win here as they are the hotter club at the moment.
