The Cincinnati Red Stockings are coming to town with malice in their hearts...
Okay, that's not accurate, but it sounds cool. Anyway, the Reds are coming in with a four game losing streak. Like the Twins, they're 4th in their Central, but with a .500 record. The Twins are coming off a rare series win (and even more rare sweep!), so let's hope they keep the momentum going to drive up trade values. Enjoy the game, folks.
A Cruz missile to open the scoring!
Nice rally going here, but Happ fells like he has giveback runs written all over him.
Yep. Let's get all the runs we can, because we could easily need them.
Looks like you've seen this movie before.
Not a bad AB by Larnach, even with the K. He certainly has a good feel for the strike zone
Now Buxton hit on his left hand. Great.

MLB free game is currently under a no-hitter alert...
And no longer a rain delay.
Now that I actually check, Odorizzi started it. Looks like a single walk by Odorizzi is the only blemish.
Miguel Sano, pinch runner. Now there's something you don't see everyday.
Shoemaker coming in in the 11th.
Why not give him another…? 🤮
Simmons shattered his bat and still got it near the warning track. Would've been a walk-off.
Even Simmons seemed surprised - looked disgustedly at the broken knob & handle in his hand and just trotted towards 1st.
Ha, I noticed that too. What can you do?
SANO!!!
Glad I stayed up!
I went to sleep after the 11th. I had a dream where I woke up and discovered the Twins had lost 15-13 after 32 innings
Now I'm very glad I stayed up!
Perhaps you heard the Today in Twins History during the game and it fueled your dream?
Overtime, baby. Overtime.
welp
Out for a month. More time for the hip to fully heal I guess.
This poor guy. I know some of it comes from the way he plays, but some of it has just been stupid bad luck.
The upside is if the Twins keep winning, he can come be a second-half addition to give them another boost, and if they keep losing (or hover around .500), it's a lost season anyway.
