The Minnesota Twins have gone from worst to first in the AL Central thanks to their stellar play on the road this season. The Twins currently sit at 16-5 on the road this season, which includes going 11-1 in their past 12. Minnesota, who has won the first two games of their current series, continues a four-game set with the LA Angels Saturday.
Ervin Santana is looking like the best pitcher in baseball, as he paces the MLB with a 1.75 ERA and has held opponents to one run or fewer in nine of his 11 starts this season. Aside from holding opponents to a mere .140 batting average this season, Santana has been great at inducing ground balls and making it easy for his teammates to make plays.
Matt Shoemaker might be the Angels best pitcher, for whatever that is worth. Shoemaker has alternated between great and alright performances in his past four starts, including a stellar outing against Detroit in which he allowed no runs with seven strikeouts in 6.0 innings.
