Let's be honest. When Chicago's first batter hit a leadoff homerun against Vance Worley yesterday, most Twins fans let out a quiet sigh and said, "Here we go again."
But then something wonderful happened. Chicago went 30 straight outs without scoring another run. 21 one of those outs were thrown by...
...Vance Worley.
The Twins managed to strand about a million runners yesterday, but somewhere in there they also managed to score TWO runs.
The final was 2-1 and the Twins have managed to find their way back to .500 with their THIRD straight win. Even cooler? While the Twins were taking most of the week off due to inclimate weather, our rather pathetic division rivals were losing regularly. The Twins now find themselves just ONE-HALF game out of first place this beautiful Sunday morning.
Joe Mauer didn't get four hits yesterday. He only got two, but for a brief while he was actually batting .400. AND he walked twice. That means he's been on base at least 4 times in each of the Twins last three games. Maybe Joe is finally breaking out of his three-year-long slump.
Scott Diamond is scheduled for his second start today.
