Who's pitching for the Twins?
Joe Ryan (11-10, 4.51 ERA) gets the Game 4 nod for the Twins. If Game 5 is necessary, Game 2 winner Pablo López would get the start.
Who's pitching for Houston?
Righthander José Urquidy (3-3, 5.29 ERA) will be on the bump in Game 4. Urquidy, who missed two months this season because of shoulder inflammation, beat the Twins in a first-round series at Target Field in 2020. Astros ace Justin Verlander (13-8, 3.22), the Game 1 winner, is ready for Game 5.
