Interesting comment during the game. When a guy comes in as a pinch hitter, he can't take that first pitch down the middle. He has to swing. Its giving the pitcher a free strike and a huge advantage to a 'cold' hitter. Little things...turn into big things.
For Twins to win, they have to score with RISP and they can't be striking out half the time.
(of course, to be fair, those 2 DP's early in the game sure didn't help the cause!!)
