Well at least they got the runner over this time, on 3rd with 1 out now.

 

Gardenhire left Diamond in one batter too long.

Gardenhire left Diamond in one batter too long.

Easy to say now, but it made sense at the time. He was at 85 pitches and had been mostly cruising.

 

Tank continues to suck against RHP.

I can't put my finger on it exactly, but there has been something different about Alexei's swing plane this year than in previous years. It looks like he's trying to slice everything maybe.

 

ALEXEI!

There we go! An actual base hit w/RISP!

 

Alexei!

Way to go Alexei, big hit

There's that guy who was near the top in hitting with RISP! Atta boy Lexi....C'mon Twins!

ALEXEI!

Good observation, I agree

Alexei bebe

Attaboy Gordo, keep the line moving.

 

GORDO!

Minny with the lead run at 2nd, 1 out in the 8th, with M&M coming up.

 

1st and 2nd, 1 out for the Twins after walks to Span and Mauer (int).

The dumb bunt took the bat out of Mauer's hands. It's not like Revere is likely going to hit into a double play.

Just an awful AB, De Aza.

Span steals 3rd. 3-1 count to Morneau.

Morneau walks. Bases loaded.

Span steals 3rd. 3-1 count to Morneau.

 

Loaded for Doumit.

Twins bases loaded now, 1 out, Doumit up.

 

Lets go Ryan D.

2-run double by Doumit! 4-2 Twins lead, bottom 8th. Runners still on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.
