Twins Sweep Sox

Home runs and good starting pitching have given the Twins something they haven't had all season: A three game series sweep.

It's hard to complain about anything the Twins are doing right now. Okay, ONE thing, all the Twins starters at this point, completely lose it at some point of the game. Most are getting through the fifth okay now, but the sixth and seventh innings seem to be deadly for all of them. Gardy still doesn't have any body warming up until a couple runs have scored in those situations.

Yesterday's game looked almost easy, until the dreaded sixth. A 6-1 lead suddenly became a 6-4 game and the Sox STILL had a threat going when the inning ended.

It got better when the Twins scored two of their own in the bottom of the sixth. That ending was pretty scary, too. A pop fly, lost in the sun, which would have ended the game, suddenly became a bases loaded rally. And how many people thought Rios had just hit a grand slam when the ball left his bat? It ended up being a warning track fly-ball out to end the game, but it was nerve-wracking nevertheless.

Rumor has it that Cranky Curtis attended this game with his sons. Nice game to see in person.
