    The Twins kept rolling last night, defeating the Indians 14-3 and sending Cleveland to its tenth consecutive loss. Now just two games behind the Tribe for third place, the Twins send Deduno to the mound, hoping to reign in his control just long enough to deliver Minnesota another win.

    Built on the back of a ten run second inning, the Twins chased Cleveland starter McAllister out of the game after he retired only five Twins batters. This bodes well for Minnesota, who now play Cleveland two more times while the Indians deal with a depleted pen during their long losing streak. Tonight, the Indians hope for a solid start from Corey Kluber, who has only made one start for the team, going a rather disastrous 4.1 innings and giving up six earned runs in the process.

    By the way, Justin Morneau is on fire, posting a 1.009 OPS since the All-Star break and jacking his 200th career home run last night. Will he keep it up? Is the old Justin back? Tell us your opinion in the TD discussion below!

      Yes, 4 runs allowed should be an auto-DFA.

      Trevor has been talking about his injury for a couple of minutes now and hasn't mentioned "amputation" even once.

      I'm a little surprised.

      The Aboriginals are hitting Deduno pretty hard.

      Let's talk about how lucky the Indians are getting by hitting pitches the team even acknowledges he can't control. HAS to be luck.

      This game is not going well at all. I do not have a live feed. Can someone comment on what's wrong with Deduno's pitching?

      As usual, he's all over the place. When he does get it over, it's a meatball.

      Great play by Morneau to help Deduno stay in the game.

      This would be a good time for Nishi to get on base.

      I don't know what it is about Deduno but I find myself really cheering for the guy.

      Nishioka? Don't care. De Vries? Meh. Blackburn? Don't like him. But Deduno? I earnestly want to see the guy succeed.

      And I have no idea why. It might have something to do with the absurdity of his pitching style and the fact that he has absolutely no idea where the ball is going once it leaves his hand.

      I share your desire that Deduno succeed, but I also like DeVries. It seems to me that DeVries is a hard worker who is making the most out of what he can do.

      I want to like him, I just don't see how he can keep it up.
