Newcomb is so heckin' good lol Wonder what he would cost to keep

McGonigle walks off LA for a Tigers win First pitch in a few minutes for Cleveland

Way to pitch out of it, but I'm not sure Newcomb can give them another inning after throwing 20+ there

Out by a stitch

The team doesn't need a singular "savior" anymore, which is the main reason this season has been what it has so far. I'll happily take "a guy" with 30+ HR power, solid defense on the left side of the IF, and room to grow.

You should hope it is, considering they've won 8 Sundays straight.

Solid work from Fedde. Shame all those ground balls were too slow to turn two on earlier.

Focus up Braden

Beni loves hitting here lol

FYI Twins are currently playing short with a hurt Buxton and a third catcher they never play taking up 2 of their bench spots. Knowing MIN has limited PH/sub options might help explain some of Will's decisions with the pen and his own PHs

Kay seems like a great guy. He has a niece diagnosed with pediatric cancer so it's a cause that hits close to home for him.

For tiebreaker watch... The big ones: MIN: Sox lead 5-3 with 5 to play (2 road, 3 home) CLE: Sox lead 6-4 with 3 to play (all @ CLE) DET: Sox lead 6-3 with 4 to play (all at home) For seeding: HOU: Sox trail 1-2 with 4 to play @ HOU TEX: Sox clinched 4-2 Technically possible? KC: Sox clinched 7-3 with 3 to play @ KC SEA: Sox split 3-3

Your first place Chicago White Sox packed their hot bats for the road trip and picked up a 7-4 win over the T_ins. They (finally) set a new high water mark of 8 games over .500. CLE (and DET) also lost, so the division lead extends to 3.5 games. Really savvy deployment of the pen to only use 3 arms to cover 5 innings. Castillo didn't pitch well, but he outpitched Kremer and that ended up being enough. With Kremer maybe being the best arm going for MIN this series, you take a win where the Sox never trailed even if it wasn't pretty getting there. Mune's defense was very key to this one with a pair of crucial double plays to match his pair of hits. 71 wins sets a new MLB record for a season following 3+ years of 100+ losses.

Grich eats LHP for breakfast

No HRs, but Mune grabbing a couple hits today is a good sign

One wonders if Taylor only throwing 2 pitches in the last series might have played into the calculus tonight

Some incredibly well timed DPs today

Maybe Jeffers is upset he's not a Yankee

My first instinct was no, his stuff ramping up to pop 101 a couple times there made me reconsider...but I still lean no I think. Keep him available for another game in the series, they have other guys who should be able to handle a clean inning.

He's safe if his toe makes contact on landing

Heads up from Mune

Early season injury kept him from getting stretched out. I expect him to start in the future.
