Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Minnesota: Adalberto Mejia (1-1, 3.95 ERA)<br />
Seattle: Yovani Gallardo (2-6, 6.24 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Adalberto Mejia goes for the Twins in the 2nd game of this series and he had a solid last start going six innings and only giving up one run in a 4-2 win over the L.A. Angels. The Twins have won his last three starts where he has given up six earned runs in 18 innings. Mejia is a rookie and in three of his five starts this season he has given up two or fewer runs and in 27 innings of work he has struck out 24. This will be his first career start against the Mariners. After not lasting past the 2nd inning in his first road start of the season, which was his first start of the season overall, his next road start was his last one taking a no decision in the win over the Angels.
</p>
<p>
Yovani Gallardo gets the nod for the Mariners tonight and he was lit up in his last start giving up five earned runs in only three innings in a 6-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies. To say he has struggled lately would be an understatement, as the Mariners have lost his last three starts where he has given up 17 earned runs in only 11 innings. Gallardo has ERA of over 12 in his last three starts and in his last four starts he has given up six HR. In nine career starts against the Twins Gallardo is 3-2 with an ERA of 3.02. Seattle has lost eight of his last 11 starts overall and five of his last six home starts.

Minnesota Twins vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Twins and Mariners have the exact same amount of wins and while Minnesota is in first place in the AL Central Seattle is in 3rd place in the AL West 13 games out of first place. The Twins have lost two of their last three games, where they have given up 19 runs in the two losses and they are in first place in their division even though they do not rank in the top 20 in the Majors in runs scored or team ERA. The Mariners have won four in a row where they have been stellar at the plate and on the hill outscoring their opponents 40-10. Mejia has been pretty solid in his last few starts, but can he tame the Seattle bats, which are on fire? They may need to stay on fire with how Gallardo is pitching getting absolutely hammered in his last three starts. He may not have a great start, but will not get shelled and the Mariners’ lineup will continue to get it done at the dish, which means Seattle will take this game and go for the series sweep tomorrow.
