Eh, I don’t think that was necessarily a sure thing

The ball went over Stanton’s head, if he was running hard out of the box he would have easily made it

Score one, give one back...

Sigh

Let's hope its just 1

[Vanimal46]

Got out of that relatively unscathed. Hopefully we see Archer start the 6th. 

[wsnydes]

Damage limited.  Let's get that one back.

I think Dick and Justin on the broadcast mentioned he should have been on 2nd

[Mill1634]

Great job by Archer. He wasn't really helped out by his defense at all (although the double play did help get him out of a jam), and he held a great lineup to one run. I suspect we finish this one with some sort of Jax-Smith-Pagan-Duran combo, although the order may be different.

If Urshela is running hard out of the box, he easily makes second. I guess everyone assumed Stanton was still an outfielder. 

[nicksaviking]

Only gave one run back. I’m guessing most of us assumed they’d give them all back.

[wsnydes]

That meeting in the dugout looks like Archer is done.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Archer’s best outing of the season. Good timing.

 In the warmups Gladden scoffed because Archer’s last outing was his longest at 57 pitches for quite some time (2019 I think)

I doubt he comes back out for the 6th at 70 pitches

Jeffers!!!!

[wsnydes]

Jeffers!!!!!

[CRF]

Got the run back!

[rwilfong86]

Jeffers!

[wsnydes]

That ball stayed hit.  

[Brock Beauchamp]

Easiest way to score is with one swing. 

[Vanimal46]

JEFFERS!! 
 

[Mill1634]

JEFFERS JOLT!!!!

 

He needed that so badly, and he crushed that after just missing one his last AB.

[nicksaviking]

Jeffers is allowed to do that?!? 

[wsnydes]

It's more fun when the twins are the ones getting the runs they just allowed back.

Hey Rocco, 20-9 when the starting pitcher goes at least 5....

Are they going to pull Archer? He’s only thrown 70 and he’s been effective the whole way.

None of that has mattered in any of his previous starts.

Encouraged even.

[Doctor Gast]

Many opportunities that Jeffers could have called for the change up for SOs but never called for the change up. He didn't call for the change up all game, bad mistake.

[Vanimal46]

110 MPH off the bat. 440 feet. 

This has been your NASA UFO update. 

[Vanimal46]

BUXTON!!!

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins have been taking very good PAs tonight. 

[bighat]

YEAHHHH BUXXXX!!!!

[mnfireman]

Buck!!

[CRF]

BUCK IT!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton!!!!

 

As expected.
