Tampa Bay Rays vs Minnesota Twins
1:10 PM ET, April 28, 2011
Target Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota
The Minnesota Twins didn't have close to their full complement of players for the opener of this three-game set with Tampa Bay. Now they have to try and get through two games.
The Twins look to end the Rays' three-game winning streak Thursday when they play a day-night doubleheader at Target Field.
The doubleheader was created after Tuesday's game was rained out. Tampa Bay (12-11) took advantage of a short-handed Twins team to win 8-2 on Wednesday.
Delmon Young was scheduled to return to action after missing five games with a strained left oblique, but pulled himself out of the lineup before the game, and was later placed on the disabled list.
Jim Thome was unavailable with strained oblique and Jason Repko was out with a sore quad, and both are day-to-day. That left Minnesota (9-13) with backup catcher Steve Holm as the only healthy bench player.
