Caveman!!! 

He wants to stay in the SHOW!

[Aggies7]

This is no less than the 10th time I’ve heard the “cave’s mom benched him for not hustling” story

Jake Cave. As expected 

Wears #8 are we sure it isn't really Punto with a beard?

I don't think there's any way Duran comes out for the 9th.

Agree. Lopez has frequently worked consecutive days. IIRC, this is only the second time Duran has pitched two days in a row.

Lopez is warming which is shocking. 
 

it’s ok, we have archer going tomorrow. He’ll go 8 minimum 

I'd put the odds of seeing Cole Sands on the mound tomorrow at just over 1 bazillion percent.

8 Batters ?

[RickOShea]

pitches, batters, outs? Not innings.

Poor guy always has to face the toughest teams when he comes up

If he comes out for the 9th it will be the third time.

I think Arraez just made it a pagan night ?

Too tall to be little Nicky!

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[LVTwinsfan]

The slump is over

[notoriousgod71]

Was rooting for them not to score as we have a better chance at winning with a three run lead and Lopez on the mound than a four run lead and pagan in n the mound.

[sdtwins37]

Let Buxton DH for the rest of the year, to get healthier, or at least until Gordon starts to faultier. He is so solid right now.

I bet Lopez still has to come in at some point anyway.

[cHawk]

The Blue Jays look like a little league team in the field.

Yeah, just hopefully not tonight  

[IndyTwinsFan]

2 SBs in one game!  Who would have guessed that?

If it stands. 

[Aggies7]

That’s interference

Yep

[notoriousgod71]

I like when Rocco gets possessed by the ghost of whitey Herzog 

[David HK]

4-5 more runs here, and I might feel comfortable using Pagan in the 9th.

Yep

Not tonight.

[RickOShea]

If the Twins hang on, they're going to do some celebrating. Ice cold bud light, Jeno pizza rolls and a cornhole tournament, will be on tap.

This would be funny if it wasn't true!!!

[mnfireman]

Arraez has had about the ugliest 3 hit game I can recall. He's swung at 6 pitches out of the zone, collecting hits on 2 of them and fouling off 3 others.

It’s still funny. Truth and hilarity are not mutually exclusive
