No-Hit Through Six, Twins Win

I'm really starting to like Chris Herman. I know he's only hitting .219, but he has a way of using his hits to make them count. Last night was no exception. He hit a two-run, game tying home run in the seventh. Morneau followed with another home run and the Twins went on to snap their five-game losing streak.

Hendriks picked up the win for the Twins giving up just ONE earned run in 6 innings. In a season where it's hard to see any bright spots, one shines through every once in a while. Last night we had a couple.

I'm still hoping for a strong month of September.

One quick Twins note: With the expanded roster, Joe Mauer says he'd like to play again in September and does not want to sit out the rest of the season. Since the Twins have enough catchers, he'd probably just DH and play first once in a while. He's going to avoid hits to the catchers mask for the rest of the season at all costs.
