Mike Pelfrey made it 6 2/3 innings last night, giving up just three runs in the process. That he made it past five was great in itself. Justin Morneau looks like he's auditioning to be someone else's "go to guy" while on the waiver list. It also looks like he's finally comfortable behind the plate again after having concussion syndrome symptoms for nearly three seasons. He had four hits including a homerun and a double last night.
The Twins as a whole are still belting some homeruns. They've now hit 20 since August 9th. That's five more than any other team in baseball since that date.
Both Burton and Perkins struggled in relief last night, but neither crumbled and the Twins came away with a win over first place Detroit. I saw enough of the game last night to enjoy it. That's more than I can say about the last several games.
