Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes a look at the increasingly perilous pitching depth for the Twins. Steady starter Joe Ryan had to leave Wednesday’s game with a triceps injury and is almost certain to miss some time. Minnesota, which wasn’t able to add any starting pitching help at the trade deadline, could be leaning more than ever on young arms at a crucial point in its season.

10:00: Rand is joined by Rick Sutton, the former head coach of the Mankato West football team. Minnesota Gov.
