The Baseball Gods are a fickle lot. When they allow you to build a win streak, they give you gifts like the other team making a bone headed running mistake or make a bunch of defensive miscues  that leads to runs. When they want you to lose, the reverse the role and your favorite team drops the line drive to center field that allowed the winning run to score. The 8th inning saw 4 Twins pitchers give up 4 runs and record 3 outs. Thats not good.

The Tommy Milone who pitched in Rochester showed up tonight going 7 innings and striking out 8. The only blemish was giving up a 2 run HR to Elvis Andrus (of all people).

The Twins had their chance to blow the game in the first inning as the first three batters reached base. But Wandy Rodrigue Only one scored. The Twins other run came on a Brian Dozier home run. Because all he does is score runs.

The Twins are now at 33-27. Lets hope the win total goes to the good on Saturday.
