Minnesota Twins Lineup:

2. 2B Brian Dozier ®
3. DH Joe Mauer (L)
4. RF Miguel Sano ®
5. LF Oswaldo Arcia (L)
6. 1B Byung-Ho Park ®

After a less-than-expected 0-9 start, the Twins look to follow that up today with a 5-game win streak against border-battle rival Milwaukee. It was nice to see us snag a 6-inning win due to a rain delay last night to save from the workload that's been put on the bullpen, especially for May and Jepsen. Although I won't be available due to 5 stitches over the weekend, we will get Abad back however, optioning Rogers back to Rochester. It may not be a beautiful day out here in the cities, but it'd sure be beautiful to get another win!

 

Go Twins!

Nice job Sir Eugene!

 

P.S.  Sorry 'bout the stitches, but next time don't draw out on me on the river in a big pot, K?

Catching up on last night's game and saw Park's opposite field homer to right field.

 

People aren't supposed to be able to do that in Target Field. Holy crap.

Yep, I'm convinced that his power is real. People don't hit baseballs 462 feet on a fluke.

I was at the game last night and it was more unreal in person. Thome-esk. It was even better because it was the special event night for Park so there was a large group of Korean fans at the park waving some giant banners and going nuts.

Not too often when I get to see these guys on my big screen at home.  Just means y'all will have to put up with more of me.

Sano did a nice unintentional job of playing possum to keep the run from scoring. 

i can live with Sano's inexperience in RF.  The not hustling after the ball, I can't.

I love the fact that *everyone* is now making fun of Nunez for the helmet thing. On Opening Day, a bunch of Twins players commented on it in a pretty funny skit, I've heard Bremer mention it, and now I've heard Provus mention it.

 

It's his bit.

I thought this was for sure Nunie, but it can't be, his helmet is still on.

I just rolled it back to look at it again. Dozier was hustling out and was going to get to the ball and Sano saw that. 

 

However... The Ball wasn't high enough off the wall to be a guaranteed hit with most RF's. 

 

Santana looked a little disappointed with the level of D supporting him. 

 

With that said... I still have no problem with Sano playing RF.
