Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with Monday’s storm-interrupted 10-6 loss to Atlanta, the Twins’ sixth setback in their last eight games. Bailey Ober has been terrific almost all year, but he gave up nine early runs before the skies opened up. The pressure will be on rookie Simeon Woods Richardson on Tuesday to get the Twins, who are suddenly in third place in the AL Central, back on track.
