Jose Altuve leads their offense with a home run, a .391 batting average, and has an appealing slugging percentage at .522. Yordan Alvarez leads with four RBIs so far. Together, they will need to have a good day at the plate to help their chances at success.

Harrison Bader leads the Twins with three home runs and eight RBIs. Ryan Jeffers offers their best batter so far with a .267 batting average, as well as a slugging percentage at .267. Their offense will need to continue to produce at a high level in order to find success.
