Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox 6:40 PM 5/18/2021

HIP HIP!!!!

Season hasn't been what we hoped, but man, it's fun to see these guys win, especially against the Sox. Sano with an absolute monster game that could be the start of one of his hot streaks. The bullpen that we expected to be good showed up in a huge way tonight. Ober was fine in his first start, and probably showed enough to be deserving of another look sometime this year. What a win. Enjoy this one!!

Winnah!

Did Sano and the Twins just win a baseball game, or did Duffey and Rocco win a 7-dimensional chess game?

I can't believe it!

And the long national nightma... ok, the losing streak is over, anyway.  Nice to see Sano return from wherever he went to light it up.  If he's only going to do that during Wild playoff games though, then they better take it to 7 games in every series right up until they win the cup, doggone it!

Do you believe in miracles? Yes!

Wow, I just got home to miss the whole thing. Does this mean I have to miss the rest of the season for the Twins to have a chance?

Polanco, you win the game right here

Only mad because I was just about to see a double taking place! Now I can't  be seen as prophetic! Lol

Twins win!!@

Nice comeback win - so great to finally beat the White Sox!!   Good to see Sano hit and the bullpen deliver.

All kinds of rarities! Sano breaks out of a season long slump with 3 HR's...but none bigger than the one in the 8th to get the game even. Rogers then throws an honest to goodness scoreless inning, when it COUNTS. (who knew?) Simmons gets on to lead off the 9th. Cruz moves him over with an infield out (not a 'k' or a lazy fly ball) Donaldson does NOT hit into a DP. (thank you) and the rejuvenated Polano with a rope down the right field line to win it.

Easy Peasy. right?

Nice win. Very nice.

All of this, and in a game the White Sox were openly laughing and having a great time at the Twins expense most of the night 

[Aerodeliria]

Yay! My dream of losing 6-2 didn't come true, but I'll gladly take a win. It seems like we haven't won a game like that in a month...or since last year...am I wrong?

Didn't know who Bill Evers was before the game - now he's undefeated as a mgr

[AceWrigley]

How did Ober look?
