Simulated Game 5 -- Twins 2 Marlins 4. Twins Record 3-2.
Marlins Prevail, 4-2, Over Minnesota
Miami rode a decent outing from starter Sandy Alcantara to victory over the Minnesota Twins. The final score was 4-2. Alcantara went 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 6, and struck out 6. His record improves to 2-0. A.J. Puk was credited with the save for Miami, his 3rd of the season.
Miami shortstop Jose Iglesias contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a sinker into center field for a 2-run single. It was his 9th hit of the season and put the Marlins ahead, 4-2.
"It's a mindset," said Alcantara. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
Miami goes to 3-3.
Notes:
Not a great start from Madea.
The middle of the order did not hit.

I have always been a big fan of simulations. I thought simulating each Minnesota Twins game this season and comparing it to the real world would be fun. OOTP baseball is a baseball simulation that will work perfectly for this exercise that literally has no point except to entertain me for the next six months or so. I may be unable to write something and post daily so I may only do this after each series.
