I don't know that one but I remember this one: 5 home runs in a row, back in the 60s.  Last Twins no-hitter?  That'd be 27 batters in a row.

Only if it's a perfect game, which the Twins have never had.  Eric Milton had two walks.

Scott Baker had a perfect game after eight innings, so he's probably the answer to the question. Still looking.

I'm confused... which one is Julien?

I'm going to go with the Battle Axe Wielding one  

[Doctor Gast]

Defensively they should have switched Julien & Solano. Poor anticipation not playing Julien more at 1B in AAA if that is stopping Julien from playing there. Might be a closer game than anticapated.

Welcome back Mr Bremer.

Cable and paid subscription free, here. So, on the WCCO radio, reminding me of my youth at my Uncles cabin resort, many Summers. Sooo much a Summer feel here, like those days. Just not at a cabin.

Go Twins Win this one!

I still remember hearing Herb's voice, over my little transistor radio and with Halsey Hall's laughs and stories.

Likewise with my comment.

[USAFChief]

For me, no person, including players, says "Minnesota Twins" more than Herb Carneal.

"Hello everybody!"

On another note, most people can’t tell the difference between entomology and etymology. I can’t find the words for how much this bugs me

Pine tar. That's where many players keep their stash.

Gritty, and griddy.  I hate when I confuse those.

[ashbury]

Two outs and a ball hit down the line results in just a single.  This team does not have good speed.

[USAFChief]

Heck of an AB, Nick.

This should help.

Maybe we shoulda hit it up the line?

Maybe he was just saving it for later?

That's a thing, right?

I think one has an n.

[Vanimal46]

All is right in the world when Bremer roasts Dan Hayes for missing another foul ball. (Yes, I am on tape delay catching up)

And two has a w. What's your point?

[USAFChief]

Yes, right between the "o" and the "e." 

Edit: ninja'd by Ash. Holy cow, speaking of not having much speed...

Fun with numbers: Edouard Julien's career MLB fielding percentage is 1.000.

Impressive.  I don't think that's sustainable though.
