Promotion
For those who missed out the first time, I am doing the second round of TWINGO continuing tonight and carrying throughout the homestand. I realize without real baseball at Target Field the promotional items fans would get going through the gates are gone so this is my attempt to offer something up besides watching the ballgame. The prize for today's round of TWINGO are the same as last homestand, this shirt from SotaStick (see below).

• Brief Rules: There will be a link below with 5 cards, chose one and comment in the twitch chat which one you are using before the first pitch of the game. Let's say card #2 is the first winner and 3 people had card #2, I will randomly draw one of the three names who won at the end of the stream. If nobody wins TWINGO prize carries over to next home game.
• TWINGO Cards, I will not allow you access for safety reasons so either follow along on your phone or print-out before the game. (Cards will be updated around 4:45pm).

Storylines
1. With a HR today, Mitch Garver can break the franchise record for consecutive days with a HR with 7, a mark only met by Kendrys Morales, Jim Thome, Barry Bonds, and Kevin Mench in the history of baseball.
2. Twingo will resume again on Friday, but another round kicks off tonight for those who missed yesterday's giveaway!
3. The Twins may have celebrated Cinco De Mayo a bit early as they launched FIVE Bombas out of Target Field yesterday and will look to take the series today behind LaMaKina.
