 The Pirates are 2-7, and four of the seven losses have come by a single run. The four one-run games played is tied for the most in MLB (also Detroit 3-1 and Kansas City 1-3).

 The Twins are 7-2 and have allowed only four total runs in their last five games and just nine total runs in their last seven games. They allowed 15 runs in their first two games of the season.

 These clubs have met 32 times in interleague; the last time was 2018, when Minnesota took three of four (2 games at each park). Overall, Minnesota is 19-13 versus Pittsburgh all-time.

 On Saturday night in Chicago, Colin Moran hit his fifth home run of the season in the Pirates' eighth game. He became just the second Pirate ever to have 5+ HR in the team's first eight games (Willie Stargell, 1971).

 The Twins currently have four players who had 12+ runs and 12+ runs batted in in interleague play in 2019 -- Josh Donaldson with Atlanta and Eddie Rosario, Mitch Garver and Max Kepler with the Twins.

 In six career starts at Target Field, Derek Holland is 0-5 with a 7.98 ERA (26/29.1).

HP - Navas, 1B - Nelson, 2B - Bucknor, 3B - Tumpane

The Minnesota Twins seek their fifth consecutive victory when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, one night after utilizing an unusual walk-off celebration that fits the social-distancing era.
Nelson Cruz blasted the game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Twins a 5-4 victory on Monday, and he did his best to follow protocols set down due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Twins look to remain on roll vs. Pirates

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)  Jose Berrios pitched six strong innings, Nelson Cruz had three hits and the Minnesota Twins beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-3 Tuesday in a game briefly delayed when an unauthorized drone flew over Target Field.
The Twins won their fifth in a row, completed a 7-1 homestand and improved to 9-2 for the second time in the team's 60-year history. The other was 2001.
