The Twins and Cardinals finish their two-game series tonight at Target Field (7:10 p.m., FSN) with 40-year-old Rich Hill making his first start for the Twins.
Luis Arraez moves to the leadoff spot as Max Kepler and Byron Buxton are both out of the lineup. Jake Cave will play center and Marwin Gonzalez is in right against Cards right hander Daniel Ponce de Leon, who will be searching for the fountain of success.
"I enjoy it a lot, really love leading off," Arraez said. "[Manager Rocco Baldelli] doesn’t talk about that with me, but whatever he decides, I’ll just go out and do my job.”

La Velle E. Neal III has covered baseball for the Star Tribune since 1998 (the post-Knoblauch era). Born and raised in Chicago, he grew up following the White Sox and hating the Cubs. He attended both the University of Illinois and Illinois-Chicago and began his baseball writing career at the Kansas City Star. He can be heard occasionally on KFAN radio, lending his great baseball mind to Paul Allen and other hosts.
Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
