Romero wasn’t as sharp as we’d seen him previously, but to his credit he never unraveled....6747Mon, 14 May 2018 00:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-tale-of-two-rookies-fernando-romero-and-shohei-ohtani-r6746/Throwing Gas For Twins fans, it’s no secret that Romero’s fastball has a lot of life. Ohtani is more of a mystery as this will be only his sixth start at the big league level.

Take a look at that graph, they really stormed back and swiped this game away from the Angels.
