Really, really good outing from Berrios

My little league would put this defense to shame

IT'S SANO-ING

BRING. THE. RAIN.

CAVE CRUSHED!!!!

The curveball is working tonight

What is the point of replay if they arent even going to get the call correct?

NY replay center should be fired for that

Safe

.....and that just happened

JD!

Fantastic first from Jose with a little help from Jeffers

The Twins put a stop to their 6 game losing streak last night with a 3-2 win over Chicago. Tonight they look to take the series, playing their final game of 20 in a row before a timely off-day tomorrow. The White Sox sit on top of the ALC standings with under 30 games to play, but the Twins can bring themselves into half a game with a win over the Southsiders tonight. The Pitchers: RHP Reynaldo Lopez (0-1, 8 IP, 9.00 ERA, 8 K's) vs RHP Jose Berrios (2-3, 36 IP, 4.75 ERA, 39 K's) The Twins scored a bunch of runs off of Lopez the first time they saw him, but Berrios got knocked around on opening day. Both pitchers have been up and down this year, with Lopez landing on the IL, and Berrios having struggles throughout the season. Look for Berrios to be good tonight facing a majority of right handed bats. Lopez is a wildcard. He has the stuff, but hasn't put it together. The Lineups: Twins RF Max Kepler L 3B J. Donaldson R SS J. Polanco S DH Nelson Cruz R LF E. Rosario L 1B Miguel Sano R 2B Luis Arraez L CF Jake Cave L C Ryan Jeffers R White Sox SS Tim Anderson R 3B Yoan Moncada S C Y. Grandal S 1B Jose Abreu R LF Eloy Jimenez R DH E. Encarnacion R CF Luis Robert R RF Nomar Mazara L 2B N. Madrigal R Both teams get help back from injuries, with the Twins getting The Bringer of Rain back, and the White Sox getting young stud Yoan Moancada back at the hot corner. Byron Buxton is out after returning from injury last night, something Rocco said was predetermined. We saw Illdamero Vargas get DFA'd this afternoon to make room for Josh Donaldson. Jeffers starts again, but probably only until the 6th or 7th inning, a spot we have seen him get pinch hit for a lot this year (probably for Ehire, because Rocco) This Day in History: 2001 - For the first time in major league history, four games end with only one run scoring in the contest. The Yankees, Padres, Astros, and Blue Jays beat their respective opponents Red Sox, Diamondbacks, Brewers, and Tigers, 1-0. Pick to Click: Jeffers jacks a ball out of the yard Go Twins!!! PS: Sorry for getting this up late, and for not getting my usual introduction in.

TWINS WIN!!!!!! Haven't been able to say that in a while, and it feels great to say it again. Pineda, was really, really good, and the "B" relievers were good too. Holding this lineup to a 2 spot is not a small feat. The lineup still wasn't great, but Buxton looked good on both sides of the ball. Getting Donaldson back tomorrow will be big. Loved the buttons Rocco pushed tonight. Until tomorrow, Go Twins!!!

Wisler just made Robert look silly on three straight sliders

Wow, great play by Ehire and Sano. Other than the mental lapses at 1st, Sano has been very good

Alright Wisler, slide the door shut

So uh, Wisler for the 9th?

BYRON!!!!

Props to the front office and to Thielbar....he has been a big boost from the left side out of the pen

I think that is a catch? Or pretty close

Thielbar...interesting given the fact that the Sox crush lefties, but not a ton of options here

ARRAEZ!!!! LETS GO!!!

Happy to eat some Crow, Manager of the year

Cave over Kepler to pinch hit? Holy cow Rocco, you're acting like we have won 6 in a row.
