I would say there were other opportunities in that game as well. If Sano didn't strike out after Mauer's double in the first, there is another potential run that didn't get added. Yes, Sano's shot should have been a HR, and most probably would have at pretty much any other stadium. It's one of the things about baseball, sometimes the ball drops in your favor, and sometimes it doesn't. It is true the the Twins need more out of their starters. If they did, maybe the pull out win #7 in a row. Hopefully they stay in the groove overall and comeback with some wins against the Astros.
