I wonder if it might be Moran for the eighth. The O's have a lot of lefties at the top of the order. I believe Rutschman is better against right handers as well.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Come on Twins, insurance run(s) please! A solo HR, a sac fly, anything! Get a run in or 3!

[Robert Floren]

Come on Twins, don't make them throw a shutout again.  Give em some breathing room.

They didn't have much luck against the starter. They haven't hit it very well against the relievers. 

[stringer bell]

A lefty in for the eighth for the Birds. Farmer would have stayed in anyway, I believe. 

[CRF]

Too many of these nail biter games. We need to somehow figure out a way to score more runs. It doesn't look like the player only hoe-down really solved anything. 

[Craig Arko]

Duran in the 8th.

[Robert Floren]

We don't have game=7 Jack Morris anymore.  Need to score.

[CRF]

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't like using Duran here. I don't care if it's the top of the lineup or not. I'd save him for the 9th. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Front office needs to step up quick, Team needs a decent arm in the pen,

My thought is that they'll go with Duran for the eighth and ninth. Not a huge fan of that either, especially since he pitched yesterday.

But if there is no 9th?

[stringer bell]

Yanked both fastballs inside to go 3-0.

[stringer bell]

And my Peacock feed froze. 

[stringer bell]

Now I get it back. First and third with one out. Ouch.

[stringer bell]

Yikes, just in time for an ex-Twin to do damage.

[mrtwinsfan]

Duran not trusting high heat 

[CRF]

Ah...s**t!

[mrtwinsfan]

Hicks,   

[stringer bell]

Yuk, just a dying quail to left center. 

[stringer bell]

I'm guessing we won't see Duran in the bottom of the ninth if there is one.

[stringer bell]

Nice play by Kirilloff to keep the score tied.

[lecroy24fan]

Wow Peacock is 2 minutes behind. Just saw the Kiriloff play.

[Mike Sixel]

Just bad luck. I can't understand being against the best RP in baseball coming in 

[CRF]

OH NO! This sure didn't go the right way. 

[weitz41]

oh boy..

 

[Aggies7]

Missed opportunities offensively 🤷🏼

[SwainZag]

Oh Duran.
