Isn’t this a great time for Duran to have a bad inning?

[h2oface]

Doesn't help when the umpire misses the low strike call(s).

[stringer bell]

Tight zone all of a sudden.

[Mike Sixel]

Online it Looks like he's getting squeezed 

[Winston Smith]

Reusse is gonna call this a bad loss.

If he's used only in high leverage situations, there really is never a great time. 

[h2oface]

Duran's fastballs have some low spin comparitively. The batters sure do touch a lot of them.

[Tlaker]

This team can find so many ways to lose a game……sigh

[h2oface]

Only a bunt single put in play. Unbelieveable.

[stringer bell]

Keep it to one and score in the 9th. 

[Nine of twelve]

Ok boys, let's go. Break their hearts.

Wasn't a single, it was a sacrifice. 

[h2oface]

Jax, Lopez, and Duran. Not so fearsome. A good share of poor control today.

[stringer bell]

Bullpen for the Twins today: 3.1 innings, 5 walks, 1 K.

Dick was wrong when he said that. It wasn't a single, it was a sacrifice with the batter out at first.

Edit: ninja'd by SB

[stringer bell]

What kind of leadoff guys is Kepler. He only reached four of five times.

[h2oface]

See, He just needs pissed off!

[stringer bell]

Honestly, Correa looks like Sano right now. Watching strikes, swinging at pitches way out of the zone.

That's why they let him bat!

[h2oface]

Meat. Perfect mistake to crush. Damn. It's only a mistake if you hit it. Swing at the ones a foot outside and low, and watch the meat. 

Jax-Lopez-Duran for the blown save and loss. To KC. This was a tough one. Polanco's gaff looms big now. Tough tough game to lose. We should have scored 5-6 runs too. 

[rwilfong86]

The Twins have to be the worst team in baseball with runners on.

[mnfireman]

Lackluster effort today...
