What happened: The Angels and Twins take the field with their series tied 1-1. Minnesota is 46-49 this season and enters on a two-game losing streak, while Los Angeles sits at 38-57 with a one-game winning streak.
Why it matters: The game comes as the Twins keep reshaping their bullpen ahead of the trade deadline, adding RHP Tommy Nance from the Blue Jays and reliever Woo-Suk Go from the Tigers this week. Minnesota has set a steep asking price for Joe Ryan, signaling the club intends to buy rather than sell.
By the numbers: Twins: 46-49, scoring 4.9 runs per game and allowing 5.1, with a 1-4 mark over their last five. Angels: 38-57, scoring 4.5 and allowing 5.0, with a 2-3 mark over their last five.
What to watch: Minnesota looks to snap its two-game skid as the series continues.
