Game Notes
Lineups
Scorecard
After too many games against east and west coast teams, it's time to flip this season over and give it a good shake so we can focus on losing within the division now. The Twins kick off a two game series tonight against the Indians, just the second divisional series for the team this year. About ten minutes before the first pitch, Daughter the Younger will commence her final orchestra concert of the year. Las Vegas has set the line at 7-to-1 that I'll be watching the concert instead of the game tonight. Play something sweet, play something mellow, play something I can sink my teeth in like Jell-O.

Minimum 70 at-bats, minimum 15 innings.
A strong outing by Liam Hendriks. Miguel Sano goes deep again. The Red Wings are on another losing streak.

Loading... Twins winning hand includes the Ace of Diamonds
The Twins find a Diamond in the rough.
Diamonds are forever.
Diamond pitched a real gem.
Diamonds are [a] Gardy's best friend.
Blue Jays cut down by a Diamond.
Forget it. I'll just go with "A very nice outing by Scott Diamond." 0 runs on 5 hits over 7 innings while walking none, striking out 4 and calmly taking a screaming liner off the back of his throwing shoulder.* He gets the W and is now 2-0. The Toronto Ace Opening Day Starter, Ricky Romero, picked up his first loss of the season.
Offense couldn't help but score some runs off of 8 walks (Pussy with 3!) and 10 hits. Unfortunately, they only plated 4, leaving 11 men on base and hitting into 3 double plays (Plouffe! with 2 of them). In the end, 4 was enough to get the win.
So, José Bautista, am I right?
