Great job by the rookie! I suppose they go to the ‘pen now, but this was all Wes and Rocco could have asked for. 

I imagine he’s done for the day, but could he come out for another inning? Who’s warming up?

I'd keep Winder in the rotation - at least over Archer. I think Archer is better off in the pen, as he seems to get fatigued faster. This is a positive development, young pitching thriving in the majors! Finally!

Long term, this approach makes more sense too.

How long of a gutless streak did Buxton break?

[wsnydes]

Duffey warming!?

Good call ?. How quick will the hook be?

[Nine of twelve]

No. As I already said, he plays first base.

My guess is if he gives up a really well hit ball is when they pull him. But, we have enough of a lead to give him some room

[Nine of twelve]

Great job, Rook! Hope we see you start again in another 5 days or so.

What?

[USAFChief]

Only six shutout innings from Winder?

 

I am disappoint.

[Mill1634]

Said it after the 5th, I'll say it after the 6th because he was so good. Fantastic starter from Winder.

Second base.

[Squirrel]

I love seeing that camaraderie in the dug out ... all the guys giving him hugs and pats ... warms my heart

Second base. Geez!

Edit: ninja'd. Good job by wsnydes.

Especially when it's a rookie getting that after a great start.

I got a little nervous about this series after Bundy got jumped on so hard so early, but the Twins have responded really well. Bats are waking up, and today's start from Josh Winder...nice job, rook. I think this kid has a future. Stay healthy and keep on pitching.

Now, come on bullpen: get this kid a win!

I Don't Know is the proper answer

[wsnydes]

I think it's safe to say that Correa has found his groove.

[USAFChief]

Indeed.

However, the more I think about it, I Don't Know...we could use a better third baseman.

[Mill1634]

Carlos Correa 4 straight multi-hit games 

[tony&rodney]

Winder with 2nd most IP and only has given up 11 hit. He needs to stay.

We all tend to get emotional over every twist and turn ... the nature of being a sports fan ... all ... the nature and history of being a Twins fan  

[Mill1634]

Polo finding his swing!

[Squirrel]

And Polanco is getting it going, too!!! Love! It!

[wsnydes]

Larnach continues to show he belongs.

[USAFChief]

Polanco and Correa hitting makes a huge difference for this team.

[Doctor Gast]

The hits dam has broken on TB. Sorry late start

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Hip hip!

Agreed, I think a number of these guys are finding their groove. Including Winder!
