The AL Central race heats up when the first-place Guardians battle the second-place Twins on Friday night.
Entering play on Friday, Cleveland's division lead sat at 3.5 games. Friday night's contest is the second game of a split doubleheader, following a make-up game originally scheduled for April.
The Guardians hope this series will help turn the ship around, on the heels of a mercurial last 10 games: Cleveland took a five-game losing streak into play on Friday, after previously touting a five-game winning streak.
All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez remains white-hot, hitting .385 in August. He hit his 30th home run of the season on Wednesday, clinching his third season of 30+ HR and 20+ stolen bases, the most such seasons by any player in Cleveland history.
The Twins have dropped two straight games after their own five-game winning streak, missing an opportunity to gain ground on the Guardians. But they are certainly within striking distance, in large part thanks to their own star third baseman, Royce Lewis. Healthy again, Lewis has three home runs in his last five games.
