The Twins enter play today with a 7-13 record and have lost six of their last ten games. They lost game one of their three game series with the Braves last night six to four. They will look to rebound this evening when they play game two. After wrapping up this series, the Twins head back home. They will host the White Sox and Angels for three games apiece. The Twins have announced today before the game they are activating Brock Stewart off the injured list. They will be sending Kody Funderburk back to Triple-A. Minnesota is doing whatever they can with the bullpen right now trying to find the right mix of arms. The offense is the bigger issue at the moment.
