Lots of strikeouts by Red Wings and Lookouts pitchers. The Kernels lose a see-saw game. Triples lead the DSL Twins to victory.

Sadly, Cub Stricker never played for the Cubs.
3' 7" Eddie Gaedel is the shortest person to play in a major league game, walking in his only plate appearance as part of a Bill Veeck promotion. His great-nephew, Kyle Gaedele, was an outfielder in the Padres organization from 2011-15, reaching AA. Kyle is listed at 6' 3".
its not a blow out!
Shortstops are catching, catchers are pitching, Gardys and Sloweys living together... mass hysteria!
Nik Turley was dominant. Tyler Wells was not quite as dominant but possibly more effective. The Lookouts lose in extra innings. DSL Twins pitchers are off to an excellent start.
Hey look new War on Drugs!!!

Rosey Gilhousen was a long-time scout who is credit for signing George Brett and Dan Quisenberry.
Bobby Marcano was an all-star in Japan.

We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to Scot.
The Twins take their traveling wrecking ball into Seattle for a 3 game series against the Mariners. The Twins are 17-6 on the road and Safeco is the only place where the Twins swept last year. So we got that going for us. Which is nice
Unfortunately for the Twins, the surprise pitcher of the year James Paxton and his 1.26 ERA and 4-0 record is on the mound for the Mariners. Hector Santiago pitching for the Twins.
Game at 9:10 so you have time to watch the Stanley Cup Finals, er.. the NBA finals, um enjoy the beautiful evening before the game.
RIP "Wallace"
