Let's face it, the White Sox are a horrible baseball team this season, so beating them twice yesterday was not the greatest of achievements. That the Twins could EASILY have lost both games without great defense and surprising home run power gives me have a bit of hope for the future, though.
In the late game the Twins scored all of their runs on solo homers including one by Oswaldo in the tenth to put icing on the cake of a great day of baseball.
The returning Josh Willigham had a monster blast as well. So did Chris Hermann.
Need more power? The Twins hit FOUR in the first game. Two by Morneau, including a grand slam in the seventh, A Colabello shot in the second that got things going, AND another Oswaldo blast in the eighth.
Both Gibson and the returning Hendriks did good enough jobs in their starts. The bullpen was solid.
The wins were nice to see.
And some of those catches by Arcia and Thomas were joys to behold. Good teams make plays like that all the time. I'm just hoping we get to see those types of plays more consistently. That would mean we are becoming a good team again.
Now if we could just get some consistent starting pitching. One double-header does not a pitching rotation make.
