    Fresh off the gem pitched by Liriano last night, the Twins come into the rubber game against Pittsburgh facing James McDonald, one of the Pirates' breakout starters of 2012. The righty has held opponents under a .200 BAA while striking out just shy of one hitter per inning. The Twins are countering with Liam Hendriks making his second start since his recall from Rochester, where he impressed the club with a dominant May. Hendriks struggled against the Brewers in his last start, giving up eight hits in five innings (two of them earned). What do you expect to see from Hendriks tonight? Which Twins bat will break out against McDonald?

      Another clunker. More to come. Reality is setting in again. Without decent pitching, there isn't going to be a lot of fight out there.

      Manship is the same as before. Too hittable. Sadly,not many other options.

      Hendriks has to get it going. Pitch with the same mentality as in AAA. This is not impressive.
