<h2>
Wednesday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
Harvey is 3/9 on quality starts this season, but 0 for his last three, mainly thanks to a short leash. Last Friday he gave up two runs on four hits and four walks through five innings of a 5-2 Angels victory over Kansas City, and over his previous three starts, he's allowed nine runs and 14 hits through 13 2/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
Los Angeles is 5-4 with Harvey this season, 3-1 over his last four starts.
</p>
<p>
This will be Harvey's first start against Minnesota since 2013 when he was still with the Mets, and that seems like about 100 years ago.
</p>
<p>
Lefty Perez is 5/7 on quality starts this season and four for his last five. Last Friday he held Seattle to one run and five hits through 6 2/3 innings of a 7-1 Twins win, and over his previous five starts, he's allowed just five runs and 21 hits through 32 2/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
The Twins are 5-2 with Perez this season, 5-1 over his last six starts.
</p>
<p>
In two starts last year against the Angels while with Texas Perez got bombed for 14 runs and 18 hits through just nine innings. The Rangers lost both those games.
</p>
<h2>
