Fulmer is a mess. Great pick up. A good throw by Gordon and we would have not given Fulmer so many chances to not come through.

At least it was only one run with the DP.

For El Jucho, see No. 4:

“A Dominican slang that appears to have no direct translation in English. It describes a person who is aware of everyone and everything around them at all times and pays close attention to details.”

 

Mainly, I think it means, “six runs in 5.2 innings.”

For the team with bleached stockings from Chicago, Johnny Cueto makes the start. This has been the 36-year-old’s first season in the American League after 14 with the Reds and Giants. He brings in a 3.15 ERA and a 7-9 record in 22 starts (23 total games). MLB.com says that his nickname is “El Jucho,” for which Google Translate provides no clues. Can any Spanish-speakers on the site help with this? Or is it something unprintable in English?

This game is certainly NOT running on adrenaline!

(Maybe more like Advil, given the state of the Twins' health.)

Arraez' 2-5 leaves him .0001 behind Judge. 

Unless one of the guys below them goes completely nuts in the few remaining games, it's down to these two.

If Arraez could have just found a way to hit about 55 more homers, he'd be running away with the batting crown.  So unfair.

Tomorrow sets up as a battle for second place in the riveting Central Division race. /s/

I'm going to be pissed if the White Sox draft ahead of us because they found a way to tank the final couple of weeks after falling out of contention.

BTW, going into tonight's game, Arraez' OBP in the second half was .309, his OPS was .691 with a BA of .277.  His overall numbers are still good, but not All-Star good.

I hope the Twins sweep the series but we are going to Detroit and Detroit is doing real well right now.

If they can win 5 of the last seven they will actually manage a .500 season
