It was a fun game to attend. Lots of youngsters made the crowd a little more lively. Outstanding outfield defense and just enough hitting to win the game. The two HBP both contributed to scoring innings and Joey Gallo showed signs of life.
Still only six hits, it would really help to get more guys on base
Well, I expect both Castro and Gordon to be in the lineup somewhere. Buxton is in quite a long 0-fer and Polanco has only had the one day off. Farmer is just back from injury and I guess, so too is Kirilloff. The last weekday day game I attended was the one game that Solano has started at second base. I hope this isn't a repeat.
I’ll be there as well. I hope that all of the difference-makers are in the lineup today. A case can be made to rest a lot of guys—Farmer, Correa, Polanco, Kirilloff, Buxton—and it’s a near certainty that Jeffers catches today. Go Twins!
It’s only 14 plate appearances, but he looks like far and away the best hitter on the team. He’s swinging at strikes and not fooled by breaking stuff. Five walks and only one strikeout.
