The Minnesota Twins have catapulted themselves into the playoff hunt by winning nine of their last 10 games, leaving them three games behind the Detroit Tigers in the American League Central, and we look for Minnesota to stay hot when they visit the Kansas City Royals tonight.

Carl Pavano has proven to be a great acquisition by the Twins, as he now has seven Quality Starts in nine starts as a Twin, including his last six outings in a row. One of those efforts came vs. these Royals right here in this stadium on August 23, when he allowed two runs in seven innings of a 10-3 Twins win.

He is facing a Kansas City offense that has scored three runs or less in four of the last six games, and that went scoreless after putting up five runs in the first inning of a 5-1 win over the Boston Red Sox in another.

Now Robinson Tejeda has been amazing in his four September starts for Kansas City, allowing only two runs in 22.1 innings while not yet allowing more than one run in a start. However, Tejeda is no spring chicken as he has bounced around several organizations, and he has never displayed this kind of form before. He is a candidate to come back to earth tonight vs. a Twins lineup that batting a remarkable .309 while averaging 6.00 runs the last 10 games.

We would be very impressed if Tejeda maintained his nearly perfect form tonight, but we feel the Twins will get to him enough to squeeze out another victory.
