Duensing
v
Doubront
From mlb.com:
Duensing had less than 24 hours notice of his last start vs. Cleveland on July 29 because of the Francisco Liriano trade a day earlier. But he responded with his best start of the year, holding the Indians to one run on five hits over a six innings.
Maybe he should be the surprise starter instead of a spot starter.
Baseball Game Recap: Minnesota vs. Boston
The Minnesotans played the Bostonians in a baseball match last night. The game was played in Boston, but the Minnesota team was victorious. Although it was close early on, Minnesota scored enough points to... hold on, the team with the most points wins, right? So Minnesota won? Yeah, I just checked on wikipedia, the team with the most points wins. Minnesota had five points and Boston had no points, so... wait. Am I looking at this right? Minnesota had 5-9-0 and Boston had 0-2-0? So Minnesota won by scoring 5 and 9 and 0 points while Boston scored 0 and 2 and 0 points.
The winning player for Minnesota was Deduno. The losing player for Boston was Lester. The H in this game was Fien, and the S player was Perkins. Looking at the hitters, the... oh jeez, each hitter gets his own points too? Span scored 4-1-1-1-0-1-1. What the hell does... okay. The hitters scored points or they didn't. I don't care anymore. I think we're done here.
