Today we get two games as the Twins and Tigers are in the middle of a rare 5 game series. Due to Covid, doubleheaders, etc., I am guessing some pretty interesting line ups for both games.
Game 1: First pitch at 12:10 Darren Smeltzer against Rony Garcia
Game 2: First Pitch at 6:10 Cole Sands against Joey Wentz.
Happy Fevver Day, all. You don't read this anyway.
Batter: Alex Kirilloff was 8-for-26 with a home run, a double, and five walks.
Pitcher: Mario Sanchez pitched six innings, giving up one run on four hits and no walks and striking out five.
Batter: Matt Wallner was 7-for-23 with three home runs and five walks.
Pitcher: Evan Sisk pitched five shutout innings over three games, giving up two hits and one walk and striking out seven.
Batter: Aaron Sabato was 8-for-25 with two home runs, a double, and three walks.
Pitcher: Sawyer Gipson-Long pitched six shutout innings, giving up two hits and four walks and striking out seven.
Batter: Emmanuel Rodriguez was 6-for-18 with two home runs and six walks.
Pitcher: Steve Hajjar pitched 5.2 scoreless innings, giving up two hits and one walk and striking out ten.
Hajjar has an ERA of 2.17. He has pitched 29 innings and has allowed 15 hits while striking out 50. He has walked 17, which is more than you want, but he still has a WHIP of 1.10 and a batting average against of .156. I say it's time to move him up.
This is a solid jam, friends.

Day game alert, naturally. Hope everyone is enjoying the day.
A pair of ninth-inning wins. A big day for Anthony Prato.
Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest
On this Field of the Grounded Arms,
Where foes no more molest,
Nor sentry's shot alarms!
Ye have slept on the ground before,
And started to your feet
At the cannon's sudden roar,
Or the drum's redoubling beat.
But in this camp of Death
No sound your slumber breaks;
Here is no fevered breath,
No wound that bleeds and aches.
All is repose and peace,
Untrampled lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
It is the Truce of God!
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.

Dana DeMuth was a major league umpire from 1983 to 2019.
Mark Kiger is the only player to have played in the major leagues in the post-season but never have played in a regular season game. An infielder, he was added to the Oakland roster when Mark Ellis fractured a finger. He appeared in two games in the 2006 ALCS but did not bat.
We would like to wish everyone a wonderful and blessed Memorial Day.
Just feels like a good day for something like this
