Pitching prowess: According to milb.com, Santiago Rojas struck out eleven in a complete game, giving up four runs on seven hits and six walks. I have to think that's wrong. Twins Daily says he only pitched 3.1 innings and gave up all four runs. According to Twins Daily, Anderson Ramos then pitched 3.1 scoreless innings and Alberson Ventura pitched 2.1 scoreless innings. I've always trusted milb.com completely, and while anyone can make a mistake, it makes me wonder how many other mistakes might have been made that I have no idea about.

Record: The DSL Twins are 27-23, in fourth place, 7.5 games behind the DSL Rangers Red.
