Odorizzi tries to keep the winning ways going. Sanó not in the starting lineup.

If Odorizzi throws an 11 inning shutout, he'll have the lowest ERA in the American League.
Admittedly unlikely, but it's pretty wild that he's within shouting distance.
Even crazier that if that one game against the Phillies had been rained out, he'd have a 1.50 ERA.
I checked deGrom's game log from last year and he gave up four runs, all earned, in his worst start. He had five starts giving up three earned runs. He had one complete game and it wasn't a shutout. I kind of expected someone that finished with a 1.70 ERA would have at least one shutout but nothing. Ervin Santana had a 3.28 ERA in 2017 but still managed three shutouts.
So, the Angels have TWO two-way players? That's kind of cool.
Woo! Strikeout basehit!
I do like when Gladden breaks down plays like that (Cahill's attempt at making a flashy no-look toss to first). He's very descriptive and I also like how he discusses how they play could have been done better.
All while shaking a cane!
This half inning is very TWINS BASEBALL!!!
Adrianza??
Adrianza!!
I was just about to come and say Adrianza is getting too many at bats, but my feed froze up and came back with him on third base.
I still think he's getting too many at-bats.
D'oh!
There goes the streak. What folly by Odorizzi to think that he could best Babe Le Stella.
Another home run for The Star. At least he's raked against everyone this year, not just the Twins.
But no problem striking out Trout.
What in the hell was that?
Goodwin? More like Badbaserunner.
BucHR!
4Bux?
I think I should have gone with ByHRon.
Everyone loves the Twins' XBHs
Haha, ballpark guy plays "Send Me An Angel" as the reliever comes in from the bullpen.
Sounds like this is Morneau's last game until August.
Well...Happy Birthday, Justin
A few years ago, they played "How Do You Talk To An Angel" during a mound visit in the first inning.
My wife would agree that this comment should be nested exactly where it is.
Sheenie reminded me that she once gave Morneau a birthday card (2005 a few days early in Baltimore).
And there it is...
Because of parental leave.
Today was Justin Morneau's last FSN game until August, they just said on the broadcast. I knew it was soon, with another baby due in his family.
There's a fan in front of me who brought one of those oversized Mike Trout faces. Garrison Keillor just autographed it. What an odd memento that will become.
Now if he could get a photo of Dazzle wearing it.
If Odo is going to end up giving up a few runs, might as well be when the Twins are scoring twice as many
Another Twins catcher, another Twins HR
Twins CatcHRs.
The two highest OPS's on the team are from catchers now. That's....pretty surprising.
It looked like we might be headed for our first sort of flat stretch of games of the season after the Twins lost on Monday. Glad that doesn't appear to be the case.
Dick sounds so incredulous that Magill walked LuCroy.
Hildenberger has been hard to watch lately.
He was one foot away from retiring the first two batters. After the popup landed, he couldn't get anyone out.
No doubt, but he's been running into hits (and hard hits) in bunches lately.
Hildenberg's pitching continues to baffle
us.
Uggggggh, is Morin ready?
Good, he is. Now someone please get a frickin out!
Until Hildenberger rights the ship, I'd argue we're two short.
Trout up with the bases loaded and the game on the line. Where's Dedunorino?
#badfeelingaboutthis
Ooooh boy.
There has been something very, very weird about this series with regard to the shift. Its seems like it never actually worked for the Twins.
Here's where Morin earns his WPA...
things aren't tense enough -- walk Trout and pitch to Ohtani
there we go.
Anyone else in the pen? No?
Ugh.
JFC
Well, that was WAY more of a heartstopper than it should've been.
All's well that ends well, but we MIGHT want to look at beefing up that bullpen.
Geez. Lets never do it like that again.
I don't know what y'all are going on about... exactly how they wrote it up.
Our twelfth best pitcher going up against one of the ten best players in history with the bases loaded! Hey, they all fail 6 of 10 times, right?
Exactly. The odds were ever in our favor.
Hitting him seems like a reasonable strategy. Trout's OPS in that situation has to be way above 1.000. It's like intentionally walking Bonds with the bases loaded.
I was just saying that I would've seriously considered intentionally walking him there.
Not that the one run is meaningless, but you HAVE to get one of the two of them out, and it seems way more likely that you'd be able to get Ohtani out than Trout.
5 plate appearances this year. 2 for 4 with a double, a home run and a walk. 2.100 OPS.

1.175 for his career. Yeah, I'd have walked him.
