For the first time this season, the Twins earn a sweep, and they have won two series in a row for only the second time this season. Dan and David applaud Rocco Baldelli's management of the pitching staff, a task made easier by the bullpen's improved play. They question, though, whether Jorge Polanco should have played this series at all considering his injury, and they wonder too whether by the All-Star Break veteran Nelson Cruz will still have a place on this team. But they were heartened by Sano's big blast in Game 3 as well as the eighth-inning rally in Game 1. Has Rob Refsnyder earned himself a spot on this roster long-term, even after Byron Buxton returns? And, past all previous hopes: Could the Twins, now 20-29, be like the 2019 Nationals and crawl back into relevance after a dreadful start?
