The Indians called up Danny Salazar to make the start today after a good performance in Class AAA Columbus where he pitched 6 scoreless innings where he showed good control with 7 strikeouts and 0 walks. He’s done well against the Twins with Cleveland getting the win in all three of his starts last season versus them. Hughes has been average in his two starts this season going 6 innings in both allowing 4 runs in his opener and 3 in his second start. The Twins did win both of starts against the Indians last season with both of the games at Target Field. We’ll side with the streaking home squad here.
