A week ago, the Minnesota Twins' season was at a key inflection point. But seven straight wins later, they are above .500 and right back in the race for the AL Central. David and Dan discuss the sweep of the Los Angeles Angels and all that went right, namely the play of Carlos Santana, Willi Castro and the rest of the position players who are not named Manuel Margot. With all this production, they wonder whose place Carlos Correa will take this week when he likely returns. They also praise the savvy play of Ryan Jeffers, who was one of the many beneficiaries of the Angels' poor play in the field. Dan is glad to have an anti-infield-in ally in the Twins TV booth, while David points out the improved plate discipline we saw from the Twins all series. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
