Yet another game where a relative lack of offense may cost us a winnable game.  Three innings left to change that narrative, at least for tonight. 

A loss here is on Jax. Handed a 1 run lead. 

 

 But we haven't lost yet.

 

[stringer bell]

Might be Alcalá’s last chance to stay in the big leagues. 

[Althebum82]

Ugh, just now checking in on the game for the first time to see how things are going.  What a dreadful line-up.  Two converted infielders playing outfield who both are actually hitting like pitchers.  I haven't even read any previous comments, so I suppose that I am late to the party with this complaint.  Great starting pitchers and Duran are the only things keeping this team competitive.

[Irishman]

Another lack of offense by Twins again.    Feel other teams already figure out to minimize Twins hits!   Bummer!   Sigh!

I hold both Jax and our putrid offense equally liable for this, if it ends as a loss

[Irishman]

When did Buxton have a hit last time?    Just wondering…….

Dont forget the craptacular division they are in cause without it they are in 3rd or 4th place.

1 for 4 May 4th vs White Sox

Alcalá throws some great pitches. Too many meatballs.

About the last time Jax had a clean inning (May 2).

[sftwinsfan]

Buxton or Gallo just almost by random chance is due to run into one at some point.

Gallo 's timing is messed up.

[LewFordLives]

This team just can't catch a break.

[Aggies7]

I guess that CC breakout will have to wait 

[h2oface]

3 pitches middle middle to Gallo. Not mistakes if you don't hit them. And Carlos hits into his second double play of the game. With Buxton on base! That's a lot of no bang for the buck in that inning.

Did Buxton’s DH hurt his batting abilities?   Would Buxton playing centerfield help his hitting averages?   

[stringer bell]

Al Central is 0-2, with the Twins and Royals trailing and the White Sox just getting underway. Really good chance the division will go 0-5.

[Irishman]

IMO, Twins hitting coach needs to be replaced.   Lowest team hitting.   

[mrtwinsfan]

Alcala, or Fernando Romero, Clone

They got the biggest break.  They play in the AL Central.

[rwilfong86]

Game over.

[Aggies7]

We all know the offense is bad, but the bullpen hasn’t been all that great either, lately anyway

[stringer bell]

I think Alcalá is a Saint tomorrow.

I saw someone refer to it as the American League Comedy Central

[USAFChief]

Sounds like the Cubs drew well tonight.
