    The Twins rallied and defeated the Cincinnati Reds in dramatic fashion yesterday on the backs of Willingham and Mauer, with Josh homering in the top of the ninth against Aroldis Chapman and taking the game 4-3. The Twins closed out their NL road trip with an acceptable 3-3 record and return home for six games against AL Central opponents. Tonight, we'll see a pair of enigmatic starters in Liriano and Peavy. Peavy has returned to his former glory in 2012 and Liriano has been stellar in his past five starts, striking out over one batter per inning. Who will emerge victorious tonight?

      not the right place for this, I know, but since I'm sick of Butera talk I want to throw it out there. The Twins have a couple pitchers in NB pitching very well. Hermsen and Perdomo are doing pretty decent, and since the Twins dug into the Rochester cookie jar and pulled out Tyler Robertson, is it time to call them up and so we have someone (if they pitch well) that is an option if (God forbid) we need another pitcher? we are getting skimpy at the AAA level.

      Any perdictions for the game? Final score? Player production?

      4-3 Twins. Butera an extra base hit.

      Off to a good start, for what it's worth.

      Peavy has been scary good this year. If the Twins can get more than a few runs in the early innings, that will be a positive sign that they might be able to contend in the Central. Willingham hitting into the DP didn't help.

      Awesome Drew, a runner on third with less than two outs, and you strikeout on three balls.



      Edit: bailed out by Carroll.

      And that's why it is stupid to bat Butera in front of Carroll.
