By dominating the Kansas City pitching staff (at least for two games), the Minnesota Twins take two of three from the rival Royals in a rare late-season meaningful series between the two AL Central clubs. David and Dan recap the solid pitching performances, which includes the MLB debut of Zebby Matthews. Dan heaps praise on the young starter (and the farm system that developed him), while David reserves his adoration for the improved play of Max Kepler, who had a fine series in right and at the plate. They look at the significance of Byron Buxton's latest ailment, of Kyle Farmer's return and of the role Christian Vazquez has settled into. They look around the league at a resurgent NL West, a new landing place for a former Twins player and a milestone for a Yankees slugger. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
