It is reported that Angel Hernandez has been a major league umpire since 1993. We continue to search for evidence of this.
Mario Hollands was drafted by Minnesota in the 24th round in 2009 but did not sign.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to spookymilk’s sister and to Can of Corn's Kernel.

Game 125: Twins at Rays
Santana (2-4, 5.53 ERA, 4.99 xFIP) vs. Karns (7-5, 3.44 ERA, 3.81 xFIP)
Interestingly, Santana's ERA and K/9 are the same. He's also not pitched well since starting his season. It'd be nice of him to reverse that tonight.
The Twins face Karns who's having a pretty good year. Hopefully that means he's not a middling Jeremy who will dominate the lineup. That said, I fully expect Sano to punch a couple holes in the roof at the Trop tonight.
Doudou N’diaye Rose – Sidati Aidara
We pay tribute to the world famous Senegalese percussionist who passed away last week.

Catching up by going backward.
A good day for Byron Buxton. A bad day for Greg Peavey. The Miracle uses only two pitchers in a doubleheader. Fine pitching by Keaton Steele. Cody Stashak throws five hitless innings. A perfect day for Jorge Andrade. Jorge Parra hits a walkoff for the DSL Twins.
