Kepler strikes out now and then.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

One inning for Duran, heh

[Vanimal46]

Lol what was the point of Duran in the 5th if you weren’t planning multiple innings out of him?

According to DicknRoy, it was to face the 2-3-4 hitters.

I am just simple caveman fan, but best case scenario wouldn't those 3 hitters come up again in the 8th?

401K is my nickname for Kepler.  He keeps rolling over........ to the right side).  rollover-401K)

[AussieG]

Jax looked sharp. Maybe he should get another inning ?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I mean, good inning for Jax, but questions linger like cranberries 

 

[Aggies7]

Needed a proven middle reliever to preserve the 3 run deficit…

[USAFChief]

Sanchez takes 91 middle middle.

Looks like I picked a bad week to give up sniffing glue during Twins games. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Well the Twins won’t lose any ground tonight

False. Cleveland's magic number will drop by 1.

[Vanimal46]

Lopez in the 7th. Why not? Save the 8th for Pagan. 

[Wyotwinsfan]

Now Lopez is pitching in the 7th.  Who is going to pitch in the 9th if, and it’s a big if, a really big if, the Twins take the lead?

[AceWrigley]

Just tuned in. What is Rocco doing with the bullpen???? Duran, Jax Lopez in the 5th, 6th, 7th??  Is Rocco off his meds or something????

[Aggies7]

The problem is that we just aren’t playing the royals and tigers enough 

[ashbury]

JLo brings some glamor to tonight's game.

Beat me to it.

[Vanimal46]

Nice member’s bounce off the wall right to Kepler. Kepler still has a cannon, no doubt.

I would enjoy seeing the mound stylings of Tim Beckham if the game becomes a blowout.
