The Twins would like to right the ship on Saturday against the White Sox and keep their slim postseason hopes alive. They will need to beat the AL Central leaders in order to do that, something that's been a tough task in the second half.For the Twins, it will be RHP Taj Bradley. This season, Bradley is 10-6 with a 3.85 ERA. Some bad news for Bradley and the Twins is that he's struggled with the White Sox in his career, posting a 10.47 ERA in 16 1/3 innings of work. It's not exactly what you want when you're looking to avoid a series loss against a playoff team.For the White Sox, it will be LHP Anthony Kay. This season, Kay is 9-7 with a 4.28 ERA. Kay has only faced the White Sox once in his career, pitching six innings and giving up one earned run.First pitch is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. CT at Rate Field.Minnesota Twins Starting LineupLuke Keaschall -- RFKaelen Culpepper -- SSRyan Jeffers -- CJosh Bell -- DHRoyce Lewis -- 1BKody Clemens -- 2BBrooks Lee -- 3BGabriel Gonzalez -- LFRyan Kreidler -- CFLineup NotesKaelen Culpepper is hitting second today, the highest he's hit at the MLB level this season.Walker Jenkins, who's been struggling at the plate since hitting his first career home run, is out of the Twins lineup on Saturday.

In his career, Teel is five for seven with a double and three RBIs. Teel is just coming off the IL, so he could be getting the rust off offensively, which should be the hope for Bradley. Andrew Benintendi vs. Taj BradleyAndrew Benintendi is a Twins killer. It seems like he's putting up MVP numbers against every Twins pitcher, and Bradley is no different. In nine at-bats, Benintendi has three hits and two walks. Holding Benintendi down is another big key to the Twins' potential success Saturday.Brooks Lee vs. Anthony KayBrooks Lee has had a good week for the Twins, and that needs to continue Saturday. He has a hit and a walk in three at-bats against Kay in his career, so he's handled him a bit in the past, even though he's struggled against left-handed pitching this season, posting a .599 OPS against southpaws.
