Game 140? After tonight, only twenty-two games left. Can Gibson keep it going? Does he have momentum? We'll find out tonight. Go Twins!

Max Murphy doubled home a run in the second. We're in the top of the fourth now, with Montgomery leading Chattanooga 2-1.
Adam Walton hit a two-run single in the second for Kane County. It's the bottom of the third, with the Cougars leading Cedar Rapids 2-0.
Victor Rey singled home a run for Pulaski in the top of the fourth, but Gorge Munoz doubled one home in the bottom of the fourth. Elizabethton leads Pulaski 5-1 in the bottom of the fourth.
Cowboy Joe alert. He's at first tonight.
It's just so good to see Mauer hitting again.
Of course, it's good to see Polanco hitting, too.
Really disappointed no one made a big deal today about KC's nice 69-69 record.
Thanks for the heads up.
The Montgomery/Chattanooga game is now in the top of the sixth. The Lookouts still trail 2-1.
Cedar Rapids has scored six in the fourth and is still batting. They opened the inning with five singles. Trey Cabbage then hit a three-run homer. Ariel Montesino followed with a triple. The Kernels lead Kane County 6-2.
Elizabethton added another run in the fourth on a J. J. Robinson RBI single. The Twins lead Pulaski 6-1 in the bottom of the fifth.
It is just so good to see Joe Mauer hitting again.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Hitting, walking, and just plain OBing in general
Mauer double 396
I think he reaches 400 this season.
He may reach it by Saturday.
Also, he's now topped the number of doubles he hit in 2009.
Daily double for Mauer!
Since Sept 1, Mauer is 11-23 (.478). 4 of those hits are doubles.
T. J. White leads off the bottom of the seventh with a home run. Chattanooga and Montgomery are now tied 2-2 after seven innings.
Cedar Rapids continues to lead Kane County 6-2 after four and a half innings.
Elizabethton scored four more in the fifth. Gorge Munoz had a two-run double. The Twins lead 10-1 in the bottom of the sixth.
Time to get some runs, Twins!
I guess not.
I don't like pitcher duels against KC. Too many Hosmers in the lineup
It's been awhile since it matters. Can someone let me know if Gaviglio's first name is Jeremy?
b-r says it is Jeremy!
Jamelle Holloway? Now there's a contemporary reference.
ROBBIE!!!!!!
GROSSMAN!
Nathan Lukes homers leading off the eighth. Montgomery leads Chattanooga 3-2 going to the bottom of the ninth.
Cedar Rapids continues to lead Kane County 6-2 in the top of the seventh.
T. J. Dixon hits a two-run homer in the sixth. Elizabethton leads Pulaski 12-1 in the bottom of the seventh.
Wish E-town could loan 'nooga a couple runs...
I wish they could loan the M-Twins a couple of runs, too.
I won't necessarily have a problem with Rosario swinging at the first pitch here, but it needs to be a really good pitch to hit.
Would've been nice to get more than one there.
The lead sure didn't last long.
That didn't last long
n't last long...echo.echo.echo...
Sigh.
Dang
Bad luck there.
A hit batsman and a walk put men on first and second with one out, but a strikeout and a fly out end the game. Montgomery defeats Chattanooga 3-2. The best-of-five series is tied 1-1.
Three singles and an error score one run for Kane County in the seventh. Cedar Rapids gets the run back on a Ben Rortvedt RBI single in the eighth. The Kernels are leading 7-3 in the eighth.
Elizabethton defeats Pulaski 12-1. The E-Twins lead the best-of-three series 1-0.
Get Gibby some run support!
The sac bunt was the key to not scoring that inning.
Good idea to waste an out to get Rosario up when Rosario has been awful for a few weeks.
I didn't like the bunt either, but Rosario hasn't been exactly awful, either. He has a .714 OPS over his last 19 games and with a very solid 10/6 K/BB ratio. .208 BABIP, so just not much luck lately.
Against a lefty?
Joe on base four times and no one can bring him home.
WTF is with fly balls to left field against the Royals in the ninth? Hope they capitalize this time.
Bloop and a ... ?
Ugh Grossman swung at ball four.
Only once though.
Perez dropped strike three, so it was a wash.
So, uh, gordo'd. Doh.
Joe on base five times. It would be nice for him to score once.
He may hit .400 OBP this year
Mauer now 3rd in the AL in OBP at .389. Altuve and Judge are tied at .412, so Mauer probably won't move up. Hosmer is at .385.
WHEE!!!
Yeeeesssssssss
Get Belisle warmed up!
I would rather Belisle Proof the lead.
I'd rather Gimenez Proof the lead, but we're not there yet

My thoughts exactly
Welp.
Whoa, generous strike zone on Rosario
And Bux gets the payback ball call
Cedar Rapids defeats Kane County 7-3.
Puppies and fireworks all around!
Saweet
Trevor Hildenberger, proven winner.
