Game 57. Twins at San Francisco

The Twins started this west coast trip tied for first place.  After 7 games they are 1.5 games up. It sure doesn't seem like they have been playing winning baseball, but here we are.

Ervin Santana wil start for the Twins trying to get back to winning ways after a really bad performance last outing. For Ray Matt Moore goes for the Giants.

 

Fun fact! This will be the first time Santana has pitched against the Giants.

    1. 3 of the 4 hits were infield hits. 1 was a bunt, another was a bad hop single off Escobar's glove and the other was so close at first that they Twins thought about replaying it (I don't think there was enough to overturn it, but I doubt it would have been overturned if Nunez was called out as well).

  1. Can you named the last Twins pitcher to have 3 shutouts in an entire season? I would be impressed if you came up with it without looking it up (or being told tonight by the media).

  2. The 91 pitches were the fewest for a Twins starter in a shutout since Brad Radke in 2001, almost exactly 16 years ago (6/12/01). That was back when you didn't have to go through security checks at the airport.

  3. The last pitcher to pitch a shutout and also drive in at least three runs in a game:
