The Minnesota Twins steal 2 of 3 from the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Field in Philadelphia. The boys agree this is likely the last time we'll see Dallas Keuchel, and Dan is convinced that Joey Gallo has secured his roster spot for the foreseeable future with his massive performance in game 2. David dares to question a decision made by Correa in the field, while Dan praises the efforts in CF by Michael A. Taylor.  The guys reflect on Rocco's nearly flawless managerial performance in game 3 and talk through the terrible strike call that, for once, went in favor of the Twins. Dan wants to know which player the team needs most to come back from the IL, while David wonders if in the case of Byron Buxton it might be better for the team if he stays on the IL. The guys finish up with their picks for the upcoming Tigers series. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
