Kennys Vargas hits a big homer to lead the Red Wings. Brent Rooker and Jimmy Kerrigan hit big homers to lead the Lookouts, with Lewis Thorpe pitching well. Ben Rortvedt has a big game in a Miracle loss. Jacob Pearson's grand slam carries the Kernels as Trevor Larnach makes an impressive debut. Ricky De La Torre delivers the big hit for the E-Twins. Estamy Urena comes through for the GCL Twins. A no-good, very bad day for the DSL Twins.

I forgot to mention that I finally received closure on that bumper music in the 4th inning. @tteberry came through in the clutch:

Game 113 in progress
August 8, 2018: Memory Lane
I was added to a large FB group of old friends from over 20 years ago. Everyone is posting old pictures and everything, and I'm not sure if the whole enterprise is amusing or horrifying.
Minor Details: Games of August 7
A tough game for Zack LIttell. Griffin Jax is brilliant for the Miracle. Chris Williams and Colton Burns lead the E-Twins. The GCL Twins lose it late. Two hits are enough for the DSL Twins.

Game 112 Twins v. Clevelanders
10. Number of games the Twins find themselves behind Cleveland? The number of runs they were outscored by last night? Tom Kelly's number? All three of course.
So the Twins in the second of a 4 game tilt against Cleveland in a lost season. Adalberto Mejia (I call him Bert) pitched well last week against the Spiders, so let's see if he can do it again. Carlos Carrasco, who pitched 7.1 scoreless innings against the Twins last week, is the opponent.
6:10p start, although it sounds like some rain may delay the game. Go Twins.
