Pedro Hernandez looked good replacing Samuel Deduno last night. With Deduno on the 15 day disabled list because of that right-shoulder problem, Hernadez gave the Twins their fourth really good start in 5 games giving up just two runs in six plus innings of work.
Perkins screwed up in the ninth by walking a man, giving up a single and then giving up a home run on an 0-2 pitch. I like Perkin's aggressiveness, and I like that he throws strikes, but that pitch was way too sweet for an 0-2 count.

But this is the Astros we're talking about. Given time, they managed to find a way to lose their 93rd game of the season. The Twins won it with a big 12th.
Highlights? "Bull" Dozier hit ANOTHER homerun. Plouffe did too, ending up with 4 hits. "Alvis" Presley added a couple of more hits as well. Even Mastroianni got three hits and three RBI last night.
The Twins bullpen has seen quite a bit of action the last two nights, and all but Perkins came through brilliantly. Last game of the series is this afternoon. It will get thee "squeeze play" version tonight on FSN.
