Arraez's Favorite Trophy (Mariners Series Recap, 6/13-6/15)
With Joe Ryan and Sonny Gray back in the starting rotation, the Twins take two of three from the Seattle Mariners to begin a road trip out West. All-Star candidate Luis Arraez comes through with a big hit in Game 3 to secure a victory -- as well as a heralded(?) award from the YouTube TV broadcast crew. David picks Arraez as his series beast, but Dan saves that honor for a reliever who is performing much better than almost anyone expected this season. The boys also discuss the Alex Kirilloff conundrum as well as Rocco Baldelli's management of the bullpen arms. Nelson Cruz has apparently had a strong influence on Arraez, and the Twins' infielder has also drawn the attention of Mariners great Ichiro Suzuki. They also discuss a couple significant and quirky pitching performances from around the league. Thanks for listening, and go Twins.
