The Minnesota Twins own the best record in baseball and have outscored opponents by an impressive 111 runs as they prepare to host the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday for the opener of their two-game interleague series. The Twins (36-16) top the majors in runs (315) and homers (104) after posting their sixth straight victory on Sunday, a 7-0 triumph against the Chicago White Sox that increased their lead in the American League Central to 10 games.

Max Kepler has gone 16-for-34 with four homers and 14 RBIs during his eight-game hitting streak after belting a three-run shot on Sunday while Eddie Rosario, who is 12-for-27 in his last six contests, matched him with a three-run blast. Michael Pineda looks to help the Twins win for the 12th time in 13 games when he takes the mound in the series opener opposite Gio Gonzalez, who has pitched well in five starts since signing with Milwaukee as a free agent. The Brewers avoided a three-game sweep with a 9-1 victory over Philadelphia on Sunday as reigning National League MVP Christian Yelich launched his major league-leading 21st home run – one of five on the day for the team. Ryan Braun matched Yelich with two hits for the Brewers and is 27-for-66 with four blasts and 14 RBIs over his last 20 games.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers LH Gio Gonzalez (2-1, 2.39 ERA) vs. Twins RH Michael Pineda (4-3, 5.43)

Gonzalez suffered his first defeat of the season last time out, allowing three runs on three hits and as many walks in five innings against Cincinnati. The 33-year-old Floridian permitted a total of four runs in his first four turns before the loss but has yet to complete six frames this year. C.J. Cron is 2-for-3 with a homer versus Gonzalez, who is 3-3 with a 6.43 ERA in eight career starts against the Twins.

Pineda has strung together three straight quality starts and won his last two, yielding three runs each against the Los Angeles Angels and Seattle. The 30-year-old Dominican, who owns a 44-44 career record, has served up 10 homers in his last five starts but issued only two walks in his last three turns. Mike Moustakas is 7-for-18 with two homers, two doubles and a triple against Pineda, who never has faced Milwaukee.

WALK-OFFS

1. Milwaukee OF Ben Gamel belted two homers on Sunday after going 2-for-19 in his previous eight contests.

2. Minnesota INF Luis Arraez has gone 0-for-6 in his last four games after going 7-for-12 over the first four of his major-league career.

3. The Brewers won five of their six meetings with the Twins last year, outscoring them 25-17 overall in the season series.

PREDICTION: Brewers 4, Twins 3
