Minnesota Twins

I really would try to put Schwarber back in a reasonable spot in the order again. I know he has oddly kept hitting better in the lead off spot, but Turner has been hot and is clearly the guy with the correct profile.
It almost wastes Rojas' best attribute (speed) by having Schwarber hit after him. He should not steal with a guy who only hits HR's after him.

Not a good answer from the Phillies. Hope they get to Gray. They have hit well against sub par pitching but done basically nothing against the good pitchers they have faced.
