The Toronto Blue Jays face the Minnesota Twins FREE Live Streaming Online Major League Baseball from Minnesota Thursday at 1:10 PM ET
The Twins haven't won a home series with the Blue Jays in nearly seven years, and their one chance to end that streak this season is off to an unfavorable start.
The visitors will look to continue their rule in Minneapolis on Thursday by sweeping a day-night doubleheader, though the cold weather could work against the Blue Jays.
The nightcap will conclude this three-game series after Wednesday night's matchup was postponed due to unseasonable cold causing a spring snowstorm. The forecast Thursday includes a high temperature of 42 degrees but clear and dry conditions.
"We've got a roof up there in Toronto, so we don't get exposed to it that much. You've just got to be mentally tough," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
The cold could work against Toronto's R.A.Dickey, who will start the matinee. His knuckleball generally thrives in humid, hot conditions.
Toronto (8-6) has dominated the series lately in both teams' parks, winning 18 of 22 in Minnesota and 21 of 26 overall after Tuesday's 9-3 victory. The Twins last won a home series with the Blue Jays when they took two of three May 25-27, 2007.
The Twins (6-7) had their three-game winning streak halted but continued to get on base at an impressive clip. Their .340 on-base percentage is among the best in baseball.
Dickey (1-2, 5.30 ERA) will be out to limit that effectiveness. He's been roughed up in two of his three starts, including Thursday's 6-4 loss to Houston in which he allowed five runs in seven innings. He served up two homers to the Astros, something that hurt him last season when he surrendered 35, the second most in the majors.
