GG. Now you jinxed it!

[PDX Twin]

Looks like a meagre crowd today. I wonder if the mass shooting a mile away made people more nervous then usual about central Baltimore. Or if the Orioles just aren't drawing despite their improved success this year.

[William K Johnson]

Sure glad to have Miranda back.   Bad throw injures two players and of course the obligatory double play.

[OvertheHill]

Willi kinda carrying this team . 

[Aggies7]

Literally one more foot and that’s gone 

[weitz41]

Strange things can happen when you get on base Bux.

[stringer bell]

Buxton finally found grass on a hard hit ball in the field of play. Willi crushed the ball to left-center, but only got a double. 

[stringer bell]

Announcers saying Correa made a "sloppy throw" on the groundout. It looks to me like he intentionally one-hopped it to first. 

[stringer bell]

Nice play by Correa!

[mrtwinsfan]

5th inning gray zone again

[stringer bell]

I don't like seeing Rutschman is key situations.

 

But Gray gets him on one pitch.

I didn't see this one but all the Twins announcers are now on board with the skip throw.

[weitz41]

Rocco can't wait to pull the trigger on subs. Was hoping for Miranda getting another AB.

[stringer bell]

So Gallo hit for Miranda. I presume Willi goes to third and Gallo to left?

An Improvement probably.

[stringer bell]

Leadoff walk. Never good.

Scale 1-10       6

[stringer bell]

Gray got a break on the 3-2 curve. It should have been ball four.

[stringer bell]

Gray does it again. I doubt Rocco tries to give him the 7th. He labored in the sixth.

[Craig Arko]

I’d let Gray start the 7th but have somebody warming in the pen.

[mrtwinsfan]

Pagan or Gray for the 7th,   Rocco wont but i would give Gray a chance -- at least start it .  Pagan  never in a 1 run game

[mrtwinsfan]

Perkins and McDonald are good in the booth

[weitz41]

Moran time? Bottom of the order with righties coming up

[stringer bell]

Now one K in 28 PAs. Kepler for Solano, no surprise.

[stringer bell]

Buxton is definitely hitting the ball better this series.

[CRF]

Is Duran going to be able to do the bottom of the 9th again? Because it appears we might have another 1-0 game. PLEASE don't let Pagan anywhere near a baseball. 

[Craig Arko]

Jax.

[stringer bell]

This is the first time having Stewart on the IL will impact a game. 

[stringer bell]

Jax for the 7th, who get the eighth?
