Brantly didn't get in until the 9th. Indians 15 straight.

 

Twins two straight wins. Good game. Got lucky in the 9th on the pop up down the line and the not-caught foul tip on Grossman.

 

Hated the bunt by Polanco in the 8th. Especially with cold Rosario and Buxton coming behind. But in general, if you are counting on one hit out of two batters, why not count on that with one fewer out in the inning? It worked out in the end, but that was a poor choice by Molitor.

 

Man, I want Sano to get back.

I wonder how often a team strikes out no opposing batters and wins the game........

Strikeouts are fascist, doncha know. Doubleplays are divine.
