Phil Hughes did it again. It's not just that he wins, he's in such control while he's out there. 8 more strikeouts yesterday. Zero walks.
Man Mountain Vargas had another great day as well. A homerun, a double, and an infield (!) single to bring his batting average up to .316. The Twins hoped for power and RBI, but his consistent average at this point is a very pleasant surprise.
And Plouffe had yet another timely hit in later innings to give us much needed runs.
Perkins picked up his 32nd save in the ninth. I once again enjoyed the "squeeze play" version of the game last night on FSN. Every at-bat condensed to one pitch. It's nifty and you can watch the whole game in less than 26 minutes including commercials.
Tommy Milone gets another chance tonight to prove he was worth the trade from Oakland. So far, he has not looked good for the Twins. We'll see.
