Padre covered for me - I'll pay it forward.
Big night offensively for both clubs as they combined for 31 hits. Blackburn gets the W and the Twins got 3 homeruns (Willingham, Span, Plouffe!). Revere, Doumit and Plouffe all went 3-5, Carroll 3-4 and Mauer 2-4 with a walk. Dozier was 0-5 but committed no errors.
JI JIM was 2-4 with 2 RBI.
Burton, Perk-n-play, and Capps all pitched clean innings after Dunce gave up 3 runs in the 6th (that mess was cleaned up by Burnett).
The Twins are now 7-3 in their last 10 and 6-1 at home since being swept by Detroit at the end of May.
Blackburn with his third W! Suddenly, he's nearing a pace to help klawitter win our bet (for those with short memories, Blackburn needs 11 Wins for klawitter to win the bet).
Yes! Even I had given up hope, but if the Twins' offense continues to roll and he stays healthy enough to get starts, I think it could happen.
