Game 12: White Sox at Twins

"Big Game" James Shields vs. Hector "FIP is for Suckers" Santiago, 3:10 CDT

Yesterday's game was a good reminder that anytime you come to the park, something historic could happen. Ervin Santana's shutout was just the 14th time in Twins history that a pitcher had a shutout with one hit or less allowed. The last time was Francisco Liriano's no-hitter against these very same White Sox.

While that performance was very exciting, seeing Miguel Sano and Byron Buxton hitting doubles into the right-center field gap in the same game was also exciting. Hopefully, Buxton is taking a cue from Sano's hot start and will also see how patient Sano has become and unwilling to chase balls out of the zone.

Getting a win today would be a good Easter and Passover present for Twins fans to keep the team in first and start off this homestand with a series victory.

      1. My NBC channel is unreliable, and the feed cut out. My FSN is reliable, and I can actually watch the Twins.

        I'm refreshing the score from time to time on the hockey game.

  1. That was horrible managing by Molitor. I have no idea how you justify pitching to Avisail there. He's been hitting everything. That L should go to Molitor instead of Pressly.

    1. 40 career home runs and a lifetime .262 hitter... yeah, should have pitched around him.

  2. All 8 home runs Pressly allowed last year and the 2 he's allowed this year have been to righthanded batters. He had pretty big reverse splits last year.

  3. This is the second time in three days the Twins lost by the same score the Wild did in the playoffs. The Twins also lost 2-1 the day before the Wild's first playoff game.
