Kepler 1-0 in game that starts too early again. Do the Twins pick up Kepler's $10M option for 2024? Before the AS break I would have said no but now I'm not sure.

Not sure about Kepler’s contract status. He’s been very good since the All-Star break.
Twins have runners at second and third with one out in the second inning, but don’t score.

The last four Twins hitters have smashed hard shots, but the Cleveland fielders have made big plays on all of them.

I liked Castro's sac bunt but needed to drive in at least one run.

Gray's been coasting and getting lucky and just paid for it. 2-2

Vazquez guns down a runner trying to steal second. Tied 2-2 after three innings.

It probably makes sense to keep him he could always be trade bait if they don't need him. I though Larnach would develop more so Wallner could replace Kepler in RF.

Twins with two more long fly outs to the warning track. They’ve only struck out twice. This Cleveland pitcher is fortunate so far. And, for a big game, the stadium looks half empty.

Now, Polanco hits one off the top of the wall. It looks like a home run to me, but the umps call it in play for a double. It’s worth challenging. Twins lose the challenge. Then, Lewis singles. Runners at the corners with one out. Need to score.

Ugh, Kepler strikes out swinging at a pitch above his shoulders. Correa walks to load the bases, but Solano grounds out to shortstop to end the inning. Twins leave three runners on base.

Vazquez with solo HR ties game 3 -3.
Sonny pitches out of jam , 3 -3 after 6.
Gray should be done for the night with 101 pitches.
