Cleveland Indians vs. MInnesota Twins

July 15, 2016, 8:10pm ET. Target Field

Television: STO, MLB.tv

Radio: WTAM

The Indians have only been off since Sunday, but it has felt like a month. Baseball is a game that is a part of the everyday routine, and when you run into a four-day break, its absence is profoundly felt.

The Tribe limped into the break having lost three out of the last four, but still ended the first half 6.5 games ahead of second-place Detroit. They start the second half on a nine-game road trip that will take them later to Kansas City and Baltimore, and begins tonight in Minnesota. The Indians have had quite a bit of trouble with the Twins this year, having lost four of their first six games.
