Wow, bat for Cruz and then hit for Eddie?

 

Burned them both in one fell swoop. Hope it works.

[wabene]

This could be bad for the ball

[mrtwinsfan]

Buxton finally scores- long inning

[Aggies7]

Hmmm

[MMMordabito]

Hildenberger has a nice shiny 6.59 ERA.

[h2oface]

Little things..... like inherited runs.... Hildenberger's performance now keeps Perez in line for the loss, when it is really Hildenberger that should be responsible now. NOT relief.

[Danchat]

It’s about time Hildy gets demoted to Harper’s or Morin’s role... or AAA.

Thanks for the update. I can't do the like thing, though.

He should have been demoted last night. Duffey should not been sent back.

[h2oface]

I wish Kepler would become consistent. Now batting .178 for May, even with the last two games in Toronto.

[h2oface]

Diaz holds another run from scoring. But he will send Cron (remember?)

[MNT1996]

Twins have not been clutch today

[Aggies7]

Let’s leave more **** guys on base

[h2oface]

Bases loaded, and 2nd and third. Legend my a....

[MNT1996]

Good offenses don't leave 10 runners on base in close games...

[Tibs]

I hope someone gets a better view than we had on the broadcast, but I'm not sure how the fastest guy in MLB is held up at third base on a double. Also not sure how Adrianza doesn't score from first on a double with two outs.

[h2oface]

And that's why you let Adrianza score, instead of holding him at third, for a more sure thing, perhaps. Being down one instead of two at this point is huge!

At lease Buxton finally scored. Adrianza stranded by turtle man.

Splitting with the Tigers, at home, is a bummer. If they don't come back and win it in the 9th, that is.

[MNT1996]

Best team in baseball splits a series with the Tigers at home? Pathetic.

Indeed it is. The losses were winnable too

[h2oface]

Does Buxton loaf to first like that? I never get why players don't always run it out and put pressure on the infield.

[Aggies7]

Meh, the best teams every year lose 60+

[h2oface]

I hate umpires calling balls and strikes. Hate hate hate it.

[MMMordabito]

Another critical missed call by Baker ... What an oaf!

[h2oface]

How big is the missed ball call on Garver now? Umpires.......

[Aggies7]

Yuck get em tomorrow

You win some, you lose some. It's baseball

[MNT1996]

Takeaways: Hildenberger needs to be replaced and Twins need hit better with RISP, 

[h2oface]

So close to Garver hitting it out with the bases sacked, and Cron with runners on 2nd and third. Astudillo had a chance with the bases loaded, and with runners on 2nd and third, and pops out both times. This was a series that should have been won at least 3-1.
