Kepler out with migraine. I didn't know he had a history of migraines. Hard to believe he tells the trainer/Rocco, that he has a bad headache, and its diagnosed as a migraine. I had migraines as a kid, so I'm somewhat familiar,
I hope we can send a message to the Guardians that we are getting healthy and ready to put some distance between our division rivals.. I sometimes think the Twins play up or down to the level of their opponents. We've taken season series from the Yankees and Astros. so, we have demonstrated our ability to beat the big boys. We just have to do it on a more consistent basis, and at the same time, dominate the weaker teams.
Keep everyone guessing. He's not going 9, so complete game status is not there. One inning more isn't going to impact the bullpen that much. He's done a great job with more positives than negatives. I say pull em and let him enjoy. Heaven forbid he goes out for the eighth and gets hurt. (Obviously, that can happen at any time, but just playing the odds).
