Really, there was only one bad pitch by Duran. Got the job done. 5-1 so far on the road trip. Good work, boys!

Damn hope Julien's knee is ok. That is a special bat. Kirilloff isn't too shabby either, good game boys

1 out.

Yeah, a lack of foresight by Duran.  What a bush leaguer.

In another odd twist, it is Solano at second base and he does not have the range of Julien. Yet, he was the correct choice to pinch hit for Gallo. Right?

I thought they’d put Solano at first and move AK to LF.

That's the beauty of all of it. Solano takes over for Julien, which is actually a step down defensively. And yet, the moves made some sense.

Kepler, the man who has been discussed often as a player to drop, has a big game. The first to third was huge, setting up the lead run. 

Interesting game and the Twins really worked hard against Castillo, a very tough pitcher.
