The Twins lead the American League Central by 2 1/2 games entering play Thursday over Cleveland. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me today on WJON. He says the Twins lineup and improved pitching coupled with injuries and a slow start from Cleveland has the Twins in the driver's seat in the division.

The Twins behind the pitching of Jake Odorizzi defeated the Houston Astros 1-0 Monday night to open a 4-game series. Odorizzi threw 7 shutout innings to get the win. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan said Odorizzi worked with pitching coach Wes Johnson a lot in spring training that made a difference.

The Vikings selected 7 offensive players out of their 10 picks in this weekend's NFL draft. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan talked today about the picks made. The Vikings clearly focused on offense selecting 3 offensive lineman, a tight end, a running back and a pair of receivers.

The Vikings drafted center Garrett Bradbury with the 18th overall pick in the NFL draft last night. The move allows for the team to move Pat Elflein from center to guard and for Riley Reiff to stay at left tackle. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan says Bradbury fits their new blocking scheme and more.

The Vikings have the 18th overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft tonight. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan expects the Vikings take the best player available and won't just draft for need. The biggest need on this team is offensive line help. If the Vikings don't take an offensive lineman he feels because of the depth at defensive line and tight end they might go with one of those players.

The Twins lost 10-4 in Houston against the Astros last night. The Twins went out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning only to see Houston come storming back and they showed how impressive they can hit the ball.

The Twins edged the Astros in Houston last night behind a 4 hit night from short stop Jorge Polanco. Outfielder Eddie Rosario has been red hot lately and Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan, who joined me this morning, said Rosario is one of the best outfielders in the American League and should be viewed that way nationally.

The Twins swept a 3-game series at Baltimore this past weekend to improve to 12-7 and have now taken a 1-game lead over Cleveland in the American League Central. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.
