 Jason Kipnis has a career .561 OBP against Twins starter Kyle Gibson which is the third-highest mark by any active batter with at least 40 plate appearances against any active pitcher.

CLEVELAND -- Hoping that second baseman Jason Kipnis might be emerging from his season-long slump, the Cleveland Indians will host the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night at Progressive Field in the first game of a three-game series.
It's a welcome return home for the Indians, who have played 13 of their last 16 games on the road. The last of those was a 12-5 win on Sunday at Kansas City, a victory that was sparked by a rare offensive outburst by Kipnis.

Indians hope Kipnis' good day leads to more vs. Twins

CLEVELAND (AP)  Carlos Carrasco dusted himself off, climbed back on the mound and smiled after dealing with another scary moment against the Minnesota Twins.
Carrasco struck out 11 and withstood taking a liner off his glove in pitching the Cleveland Indians past the Twins 8-1 on Tuesday night.
