Longer counts here in the seventh. Berríos still good for the eighth, but a nine-inning complete game looks unlikely.

I wouldn't say unlikely. His season high pitch count is 109. If the Twins can get a couple runs and Berrios has a quick 8th he should get a chance at the 9th.

Two into the fountains today.

Could have been three but Cron has a poor sense of direction.

[USAFChief]

pfft. Not into the fountains. Does that even count?

[PDX Twin]

No water hazard in left field on this course?

[MNT1996]

Cron the line drive home run specialist 

[70charger]

I like insurance runs. I am looking forward to seeing the home run update in the recap thread.

[stringer bell]

When Cron squares it up.....wow!

[tarheeltwinsfan]

Los bombas es aqui !

[USAFChief]

OK Jose, one more inning, then see where we're at heading into the bottom of the 9th.

[MNT1996]

Should be Cron vs Santana for the 1B ASG starter. Both have pretty similar numbers. Everybody needs to vote.

[mrtwinsfan]

Gotta dig what Cron has done, to me if he can hit above 260 and keep his k-rate ok , unlike Sano,s k rate

I thought I'd stick to what I consider a valid comparison...the guy that took his place on the field. With RBI, a measure of production I consider incredibly important to winning. 

 

 

That's no fun. 

[USAFChief]

 

That's no fun. 

OK.

 

He's doing it at approximately 20 percent of Mauer's 2018 salary.

[USAFChief]

That's enough for Jose.

[MNT1996]

Can our pitching not collapse again please?

[USAFChief]

Not to worry, the pen's got this.

[FlauerPauer]

Hope this doesn't require an IL stint.

[Nine of twelve]

Gotta get him out of there if it's a blister. With the off day Monday that gives him until Friday to get it healed up.

[Nine of twelve]

 

Hope this doesn't require an IL stint.

That would only be one start.

[Blake]

Yep, those long balls couldn't happen to a nicer guy, Duffy.
