Julien's gotta score on that. 

Edit: Ends up not costing a run, but the point still stands.

[MMMordabito]

In play, run(s)!!

Blind squirrels, FTW!!!

[USAFChief]

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Bases clearing double from Margot. Off Logan Gilbert.

 

As expected.

[Schmoeman5]

Margot! There is light

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Margot!!!!

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Margot, just like we all believed!

[RpR]

Shame on Margot for doing that, he will annoy a lot of negativies.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Are we all seeing the same things, lol?

Let's get to Gilbert early and often. 

Sounds like a good name for a new wine.

Margot creeping out of my doghouse. I hope this is the start of a good run. 

[Schmoeman5]

Logan looking flustered 

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Kepler with another,  hit  run and rbi,   helping the counting stats and set up well to take another bump in increasing his WAR.  

[RpR]

Now I hope Twins pitching equals the batting this game.

WoW

Not used to giving up multiple runs in a start, let alone 4 in the first inning.

 

[Schmoeman5]

Twins have done well in the 1st against 2 highly touted starters. Don't stop now

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This is wild stuff.

There is a Washington winery in the Yakima Valley named Gilbert. Mixed reviews ...

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Santana and Margot making Baldelli look smart 🤣

[OvertheHill]

Getaway Lineup Ambush!

Shut down inning would go a long way. 

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Lopez at 11 pitches to after an inning,  and 5 runs in support,  should make him very comfortable to attack the zone.  May end up with an easy day for the bullpen,  they need it.  

[MMMordabito]

Throw strikes and work quickly, Pablo!

Best play here is to get Gilbert back on that mound as quickly as possible and put Servais into decision mode.

[RpR]

Darn Rookies fielding.

[MMMordabito]

WTF was that! Looked like fielding CF on Gameday.

[USAFChief]

Uffda. Martin pretty clearly called Julien off, and Martin just isn't a center fielder.
