MINNEAPOLIS (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Dodgers, owners of the best record in the National League, continue a two-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night at Target Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. under mostly cloudy skies with a temperature of 73 degrees. The Dodgers (49-29) will start left-hander Justin Wrobleski (8-2), who has emerged as one of the steadier arms in their rotation. He will be opposed by Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (5-3). Los Angeles is coming off a 12-1 rout at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, a game that snapped a three-game winning streak. The bullpen was pressed into heavy duty, with right-hander Miguel Rojas (Interstat) — primarily an infielder (Interstat) — pitching a scoreless inning of relief, allowing no hits and striking out none. Rojas, a versatile veteran, has seen limited action at the plate recently. Over his last six games entering play, Rojas went 2-for-10 with a home run and two RBIs, including a 1-for-3 performance June 17 against Tampa Bay. He is a player to watch for the Dodgers as manager Dave Roberts looks to spark an offense that managed just one run Sunday. The Twins (38-41) are coming off a 4-2 win Sunday at Arizona. Right-hander Mike Paredes (5.0 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 1 K) was the winning pitcher in that game. Paredes is 2-0 over his last three appearances, including a 4.2-inning, two-run outing at Texas on June 15. Monday night’s series opener between these teams ended in a 1-1 tie, though game details were not immediately available. Minnesota has won four of its last six games as it tries to climb back above .500 in the American League Central. The Dodgers have won seven of their last 10. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 7-6 win for Los Angeles. The Dodgers are installed as a -1.5 favorite on the run line. The over/under is 8. UP NEXT: The two-game series concludes Wednesday night. The Dodgers then travel to San Diego for a three-game set against the Padres starting Friday. The Twins host the Colorado Rockies for a three-game series beginning Friday.
