Dodgers on Deck: Monday, June 22 at Twins

The Dodgers have no more home games remaining in June after Sunday, as they start a nine-game road trip on Monday against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis. This is the fourth consecutive series for Los Angeles against American League teams.

Left-hander Eric Lauer gets the ball in the series opener, making his fifth start since joining the Dodgers. Lauer has a 3.22 ERA and 4.24 xERA with Los Angeles, with 14 strikeouts and five walks in his 22 1/3 innings. He’s lasted at least 5 2/3 innings in three of the four starts, and the Dodgers have won all four of his starts to date.

Minnesota scored seven runs in 5 1/3 innings off Lauer on April 11 when he was pitching for the Blue Jays. That game was at Rogers Center in Toronto.

The Twins are under .500 this season, but through Saturday have won five of their last six games, and are 20-19 at home. Zebby Matthews starts for the home team in the series opener.
