I'm guessing since it was a 4-run game going into the ninth, Rocco wanted to hold off on Duran...as Monday is not an off-day. Still, I did think it slightly odd that Duran didn't see action on Saturday...and also, find it interesting that Rocco still trusts Pagan in the 9th inning of a 4-run game.

Duran slept wrong and got a crick in his neck. This was mentioned by Dick Bremer.

Great series. Starting pitching was fantastic. 

Royals looked terrible and hapless though. 

Rocco still looks like he will give up 7-8 games this season because of his pitching usage. 

Larnach! Jeez he looks good. Gallo hammered a couple yesterday. 

Great start! Let's keep it rollin...

Excellent comments by all.  The Twins did just what they had to.  That is sweep the Royals.  They are an awful team.  Rocco and Pagan will probably cost the team a lot of games.  I hope they don't hang on to him too long if he struggles.  I give Rocco credit for having the bullpen warming up after Pagan gave up two solid hits and a run to the first two batters he faced.  Last year too many times he let Pagan stay in way too long.
