Twins and Guardians in the first of 8 games over a 11 day stretch to determine who is can take the reins of the AL Central Division. Cleveland always seems to be competitive even when they dump salary -- bringing in a new stable of pitchers that seem to have a MLB future. Luckily tonight may not be one of those nights as right-hander Aaron Civale on the mound for the Guardians after a stint on the Injured List. Even before his injury, Civale hasn't pitched that great and hopefully Twins bats can take advantage
Joe Ryan up for the Twins as he looks to get back to his pre-Covid form as we head into the the summer section of the season.
Looks like a nice night for baseball with first pitch at 6:40.
Twins Lineup
2B - Arraez
CF - Buxton
SS - Corea
RF - Kepler
DH - Sanchez
3B - Urshela
1B - Kirilloff
LF - Celestino
C - Jeffers
An double play on the infield fly rule would have been cool
And prevented a run
Civale got a good looking curveball tonight
all right Kirilloff!
Luis vs a RHP - that hit was destiny
bS has joined the chat. Piggybacking on the Boy's MLB.
Ooh. Rally and Luis at the plate. Sweet.
MAN MUSCLES!
Luis A-rising.
LUIS ARRAEZ!!!! HELL YEAH
An MLB article just came out about his XBH/hit ratio, and now he's throwing it out the window
blarg
Well, crap. That was not ideal.
Joe Ryan wont get a win on his stat sheet and thats a shame .
The Twins may not get a win on the stat sheet and that's a shame
well, of course.
Maybe Pagan should have thrown those 97 mph fastballs at the knees to Reyes.
BAN THE SHIFT!
Pagan is fast becoming my least favorite Twin
So it's not just me.
Walk it off, guys!
Bang-bang out there on Gordon.
Needed a good throw and got it.
Pinch run here?
I guess not.
Is there anyone left?
Doesn't usually matter with two outs and at first base.
Manfred time.
Really need a K or a room-service double play ball here.
that'll do.
Got that, now ask for a run in the bottom and we're good.
Sweet!
Hello everybody!
How you doing, meat?
Very mildy sick. Probably was more productive with my work day than I would have been if I had been in the office.
meat!
Time for Bux to end it.
Or Correa.
I'll settle for Kep.
Or Max.
Or Sanchez. ☹️
Or next inning.
Yeesh.
Oh, that's Roy Smalley. He's been decent in the booth.
he's pretty low on my power rankings. got radio audio on over video.
Big K on Reyes.
Awful lot of grey area to blue’s strike zone.
Crap.
Way too much of the plate on that slider.
Haha. Right after the throw over:
Dazzle: "Ángel Hernández at first base. We haven't talk about him, but we're going to talk about him now!"
TV guys don't even bring that up.
I think that one slipped out. He didn't comment at all on the overturn.
This outing for Jax is starting to sour.
Oh, blue.
Ursehla should walk it off
OOOOOH so close
Sanchez'd
So close.
