The Twins lost yesterday to Tampa Bay's Cy Young award winner, David Price. That was kind of expected.
Mike Pelfrey got the start for Minnesota and even though his velocity still isn't where it was before his surgery, he did pitch smart for three shutout innings. That actually is great news.
Other pitchers had mixed to bad results. Trevor May, the OTHER pitcher we got in the Ben Revere trade pitched a shutout inning BUT issued two walks. Jared Burton who had a GREAT season for us last year in the bullpen was pathetic for his second straight outing this spring. Three runs, 4 hits, just one inning. He took the loss.
Spring ball doesn't mean much but our pitchers need to look like they are ready by its end. A few starters are looking like they may be major leaguers after all. It's the bullpen that worries me. THAT was supposed to be our one strength this season.
We'll have to wait and see.
Again.
