All the Hit by Pitches absorbed by Twins hitters, especially from the hands of National League pitchers year after year, need to be addressed by MLB. Otherwise, the unwritten rules of baseball dictate that we "protect our hitters" by plunking (unintentionally, of course) some of the opposing team's best hitters. Our marquee players are spending too much time on the Injured List because of opposing pitcher egos. That said, it was a great series win for the Twins.
