The Red Wings get blown out early. Nick Gordon is looking ready to move up. Travis Blankenhorn gets the big hit as the Miracle holds on. Alex Kirilloff hits his fifth homer.

Ed Barrow was the manager of the Boston Red Sox from 1918-1920, and is credited with making the decision to make Babe Ruth and outfielder, rather than a pitcher. He was then general manager of the New York Yankees from 1921-1944.
Harry Salsinger was the sports editor of the Detroit News for forty-nine years.
Allan Roth was the first full-time statistician employed by a major league team, being hired by Branch Rickey in 1947. He is credited with promoting the idea that on-base percentage is more valuable than batting average and with providing the first evidence that right-handed batters hit better against left-handed pitchers and vice versa.
Hideo Fujimoto holds the Japanese records for lowest career ERA and lowest one-season ERA.
John McMullen was the owner of the Houston Astros from 1979-1992.
With all due respect to John Gordon and Cory Provus, some of us will always consider Herb Carneal to be the Voice of the Twins.
It is rumored that Chris Berman has also been a baseball broadcaster, but no evidence supporting this rumor could be discovered.
Minor Details: Games of May 8
Another excellent game for Aaron Slegers. A big game for Chris Paul. Home runs by Mark Contreras and Jaylin Davis lead the Miracle. The Kernels blow a big lead.
May 9, 2018: St. Louis Toodle-Oo
Sure it was only a two game sweep, but they were two good games against a good team.
Also, a day game then a day off kind of feels like two days without Twins baeball.

We would also like to wish a happy birthday to UncleWalt’s youngest child.

Game 32 — Twins at Cardinals
Twins on a four game winning streak. Only 1.5 games behind the Clevelanders. Byron Buxton should be ready to play this week. All looking rosy for the Twins after a dreadful late April. Could be a nice pitcher's duel today with Jake Odorizzi up against Carlos Martinez, who's been pretty dang good this year. Perfect St. Louis weather for an afternoon game. If I worked in downtown St. Louis, probably a great day to play hooky and head over to the ballpark.
12:10p Start.
Eddie Van Halen – Cathedral/Hot For Teacher
