Amed Rosario has hit .350 against the Twins up to this year as the Guardians head into their final series of the season with their rival.
This weekend may be the biggest series of the year for the Guardians. They are set to have five games with the Minnesota Twins who are currently third in the American League Central while the Guardians sit at the top.
If all goes well, the Guardians can virtually knock out the Twins from the division race and put themselves in a spot to clinch it with ease. Or they could fall in the standings and have to claw their way back to the top.
One player who could be the X-Factor in all of this is Amed Rosario. Rosario has certainly had his fair share of hot streaks and struggles throughout the year, but he always seems to play well against the Twins.
In the 14 games he's played against them this season, Rosario is slashing .350/.381/.533 and has an OPS of .914. He also has two home runs and eight RBI to go on top of this.
It's impressive that Rosario has still been able to hit so well against them considering how much each of these teams plays and learns about one another.
This makes him an important piece and part of the Guardians' offense this weekend who look to continue their dominance over the Twins in 2022. With five games in the season series, the Guardians have a 9-5 record which is in large part has to do with Rosario.
Hopefully, he can keep this trend going and help lead the Guardians to an unexpected playoff birth.
