The Twins, who lead the majors in walks, added EIGHT more yesterday. They are getting so good at free passes that they scored two runs in the fifth without a hit.
And that's become a common occurrence. That they WON by those two runs, 5-3, shows the value of their strolling around the bases.
Hughes, on the other hand, is starting to look like a major league starter again. He didn't walk anybody, and at one point retired 16 batters in a row.
Josmil Pinto, who the Twins hoped would show some real power this year, is doing just that, as he did his best Harmon Killebrew imitation yesterday, launching his fifth home run of the season into the upper deck in left field. It was a truly a beautiful sight to behold.
Perkins was a tad shakier in the ninth than he has been of late, but he still nailed down his sixth save of the season.
We're starting to really enjoy watching Saturday afternoon baseball at my Aunt's apartment.
Now if the other Twins starters can get their act together...
Gibson starts today. I have hope.
