Last night was was one of the weirdest Twins games I have ever seen. Corriea only gave up one run in his five innings of pitching but he was in serious trouble basically every single inning. And after he left, the bullpen gave up EIGHT more hits in their 4 innings of work.
On the other side of the fence, Cliff Lee was basically pitching a perfect game for 6 straight innings.
The weird part was that the Twins were actually ahead 2-1 after seven.
Don't get me wrong. The Phillies deserved to win that game last night and they eventually did. Ben Revere was amazing for the Phils. His sacrifice bunt that turned into a hit on pure speed alone in the eighth was the eventual difference in the game.
Though the final was 3-2, the Phillies outhit the Twins 16-3. The Twins also had TWO errors. I have no idea how a game could be that close when all of the stats were so lobsided.
It was great seeing Revere have pretty much a career day. It's just too bad he was doing it for the wrong team.
Twins have the Tigers this weekend. A sweep for the Twins and it all gets very interesting. Anything else, and it doesn't matter all that much for Twins fans. IF they are going to make a run, now is the time to get a good start.
If all the games aren't rained out that is.
