Last night's game was delayed when a fan fell into the Brewer's bullpen. Brewers' pitchers thought he was dead AND were forced to warm-up around him.
The fan was eventually revived, and the Twins eventually pulled off the win.
Sam Deduno showed us why he should be a starter rather than a reliever last night. In five innings he gave up four walks and six hits yet only yielded TWO runs from all of those base runners. There has always been a "give" in his pitching that allows for those situations. But he rarely breaks. Last night was just another example of that. He's wild. He lets things upset him. But he still manages to keep you in the ball game for 5 or 6 innings.
Willingham hit ANOTHER homerun. So Did Dozier. And the Twins won.
In a league of mediocrity, that may be enough to compete this year for a playoff spot.
The season is over 1/3 over and we're still in it. I can honestly say I'm pleased with that. We may be in last place in the division, but we are now closer to first than when we were in second place a week ago.
Mediocrity isn't especially a bad thing when you have so much company.
