Alex Kirilloff Moves To Bench Sunday
1 year agoMinnesota Twins first baseman Alex Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Game 2 of the ALDS on Sunday against the Houston Astros. Framber Valdez will take the mound for Houston, so Minnesota has tweaked its lineup against the lefty. Donovan Solano will take over duties at first base and hit leadoff for the Twins. Kirilloff struck out 17 times over 56 plate appearances against lefties during the regular season, so it's not a total shocker to see him sitting against Valdez.
