Puzzling use of Duran here. I guess he needs the work?

They'd rather use him against the heart of the Toronto order which makes sense.

For all the grief Moran gets, his ERA is now just under 4, and better than Pablo Lopez's. 

Of the 5 curernt starters, only Varland's 4.24 is lower than Lopez's 4.11. Gray 1.82, Ryan 2.21, Ober 2.55.

I know the no math policy but isnt 4.24 higher then 4.11?

If you are going to use him with a 4 run lead, I guess it may as well be the heart of the order.

[RickOShea]

With this big day, we won't see Julien in the lineup for a week.

[mrtwinsfan]

[Dave Borton]

Folks, been planting sweet potatoes and peppers. Toronto radio booth really working over Wallner's fielding. How bad was it?

Gallo (4) and Kirilloff (2) responsible over 1/2 of them.

14 hits and 9 runs kind of glosses it over though...

[rwilfong86]

Come on Jorge, let's get these last 3 outs

The Lopez dilemma. Doesn't matter which one. 

[PDX Twin]

Everyone not named Lopez has pitched well for the Twins today. Unfortunately ...

[rwilfong86]

looks like Stewart is up

[mrtwinsfan]

Cant make this up,

Lopez #2 is starting to be a real problem. He's proving that the first half of last season was a total fluke.
