Game 53: Twins 6, Indians 3

The Twins win (with bunting).

"I think we can have three or four guys bunt in a row," Gardenhire said. "That makes it entertaining for the manager, who can just sit and watch them run around for a while." Scott Diamond improves to 4-1 by pitching 7 innings giving up 7 hits. The Indians managed 3 unearned runs. Joe Mauer sprained his right thumb during the 7th. "I fouled a pitch back and felt it," said Mauer. "It was barking pretty good, so I got some ice on it."

Dozier, Willingham and Plouffe! all hit doubles and Laddie had 2 sacrifice flies. Dozier and Plouffe! also had E's on the day which led to runs.

I don't know if there's any way this team competes for the playoffs, but I'd rather watch them win than lose.

  1. If the Twins win their next one they'll be on pace for a 63-99 record over 162 games, which would be the first time all season they've been on pace to lose less than 100 games.
