Two low-scoring games lead to a Red Wings split. Another solid game for Dereck Rodriguez. Nelson Molina has a big day. Logan Lombana has a perfect relief outing. Akil Baddoo is hitting well in the GCL. The DSL Twins lose a big lead but still win.

Happy 4th of July! What can be more American than watching baseball in the sun, eating a hotdog, popcorn, and washing it all down with a Coke or a beer?
Gibby on the mound for the Twins, let's hope for some fireworks but only when the Twins are at bat.
