The Minnesota Twins wrap up their post-All Star Break road trip with a 2-2 series split against the Seattle Mariners, and much credit goes to their trio of left-handed hitters in Eddie Julien, Alex Kirilloff and Max Kepler. David and Dan discuss their roles in the two victories, as well as the notable struggles of superstar(?) Byron Buxton. Dan asks whether Sonny Gray's best days are behind him, and David ponders the roster shuffling that might be necessarily to keep both Julien and Jorge Polanco when he returns sometime in the next week. They bring up the difference it has made having Carlos Correa atop the lineup card, and they wonder whether yet again Rocco Baldelli got a little cute with his managerial decisions in Game 3. Finally, in their look around the league, they give credit to Rob Manfred for his significant decisions as MLB Commissioner. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
