A good game for Cole DeVries. Big games for Byron Buxton and Jorge Polanco. The DSL Twins get their first win.
June 6, 2013: Teacher’s Pet
A couple of weeks into summer vacation, the only thing on Skim's mind is how much she misses school. Well, I'll take that attitude for as long as I can get it, I guess.

OK Go – All Is Not Lost
yeah, sure, OK go is a gimmicky band, but their gimmicks amuse me regardless. here they are helping NPR's tiny desk series move their offices to the new HQ in 223 takes.
NPR nerds might find a number of cameos.

Walters
v
Guthrie
It's nice that the Royals, despite going for it, have returned to being the Royals. B-R has their SRS just behind the Twins: -0.1 versus 0.1. That said, Jeremy Guthrie is going for the Royals.

Kyle Gibson looks for consistency. D. J. Baxendale comes back in his second AA start. Miguel Sano hits his fourteenth homer.
June 5, 2013: Time to Tow These Morons
My parking spot, for some reason, attracts all kinds of folks who think they can park wherever they want in this place. Even if there are four open spots in a row, it's mine they take. It's almost funny enough not to be annoying.
Happy Birthday–June 5
Jack Chesbro (1874)
Eddie Joost (1916)
Lou Brissie (1924)
Duke Sims (1941)
Bill Spiers (1966)
Ray Lankford (1967)
Mike Coolbaugh (1972)
Russ Ortiz (1974)
Prior to beginning his major league career, Lou Brissie served in World War II. He suffered severe leg injuries, receiving the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts, but overcame his injuries to spend seven years in the majors.
As you may remember, Mike Coolbaugh was the first base coach for the Tulsa Drillers when he was struck on the head with a line drive and killed.
There appear to be no major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins born on this day.
