Sometimes awesome things happen at baseball games. The hot topic around the Twins-sphere today was Joe Mauer's bunt in Boston. Today, he answers the critics by pulling (!) a 3run (!!) home run (!!!) to tie the game at 5. Or a guy with a sub 5.0 k/9 rate getting 9 strikeouts in 7 innings. Good job Kyle Gibson!

Sometimes not so awesome things happen, like the Brewers taking sinkerballer Kyle Gibson deep 3 times. Or Torii Hunter misplaying a line drive that leads to the go ahead run. Or an infield fly that travels 25 feet from home is allowed to drop in and Adam Lind can easily lumber in from second base to score a run. And also not awesome is the Twins losing to the Brewers. yuck.

But, there are still two more games in the series. We can still get a series win.

Notes:

- Mauer's home run was his 111th of his career and passed Roy Smalley on the Twins HR list. Next up is Jacque Jones with 132.

-Mauer is already 10th on the franchise RBI list. With 3 tonight he has 722. Rod Carew had 733 and Torii Hunter added one more tonight, he has 747

- Kyle Gibson had a career high 9 strikeouts. His previous high was 8 and that happened only two starts ago against the White Sox.
