Houck vs. Paddack, both righties, big advantage to Sox
However, Twins are on 10 game winning streak--but 7 of those were against the woebegone 6-25 White Sox, worst team in MLB. Sox are 11-5 on the road and 7-9 in Boston.
I see this lineup for tonight--
Duran CF
Devers 3b
Refsnyder LF
O'Neill DH
Abreu RF
Wong C
Smith 1b
Grissom or Hamilton, 2b
Rafaela SS
Twins hitting and relief has been good. Their starters have let them down so far. Doesn't help that they let Gray and Maeda leave. Lopez and Ryan are decent and they'll be in games 2 and 3. Need to take the first game for sure.

All good points, but you blew subject-verb agreement.
I was a math major then got an MBA/Master's in Accounting. I still can't spell for shit and don't know how to use commas properly. I do love reading though.
Enmauel's was 526 this year.
I think there's an argument that he's correct. I think it's fine, but if desperate to defend it, I'd note the absence of an apostrophe in 'Twins' and construe plausibly: "Twins [are] hitting; and [their] relief [pitching] is good." (Always there for my USC homies.)
"Fans have become more entitled than anything. So they're starting to question our motives for the game, or how we approach the game. The ones that do question -- like who are you? Just shut up and watch the game tonight." --Kevin Durant on players' lack of effort in regular season games.
Re2pect!
I was an engineering major and never took a single English class in college, and even I know a compound subject requires a plural verb, even if both parts of the compound subject are singular.
“The Twins’ hitting and relief have been good.”
Also a semi-colon connects two independent clauses, assuming you did not make a simple typo…
Twins hitting conjures a pair of siblings (identical or fraternal) swinging the bat. It's cool when they're related and bat back-to-back in the order.
Dick and Jane: See the ball. Hit the ball See the hit ball , catch the hit ball. Catch the ball, throw the ball .
Vaughn Grissom is the starting second baseman for the Boston Red Sox tonight, batting seventh behind DH Dom Smith.
Time to tear open that Topps wax pack...
Well, not always. But in any case, my construction gives him a way out. You're right about the semi-colon; I should either omit it or replace with a comma. That should do it. I'm not letting my boy go down in flames!

Who is he?
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
If you went to high school, you were told about subject-verb agreement. It's true in English and in other languages as well.
