David Festa gets the call to step in for Pablo Lopez tonight. He pitched way more last year than I realized (13 starts!), and hopefully he's grown as both a pitcher and a person since then. Not that I know anything about him personally, I just generally like the idea of people continuing to improve themselves in any way. We can all get on board with that, right?
Reese Olson goes for Detroit, and hopefully the Twins' offense breaks him to pieces. See what I did there? Because his name is Reese?
Also because our offense has been bad...
Anyway, this is the first Friday game of the year, so... enjoy the Twins on a Friday night, I guess?
A lead!
A crooked number lead!
Whoops, nope. Ty France is ... Not fast.
another busy night for the 'pen :/
I've seen more than one favorable call for Twins batters tonight
...and also less favorable calls. I'd like to see the ump's report card tomorrow
Wallner's throw allowed Detroit to tie it up but he at least scores the go ahead run.
I have a feeling this will end stupidly
Man, Jorge Alcala is a frustrating pitcher
Alcala throwing farts tonight.
pretty good horrible outing for Alcala tonight
Is it too early to GOSO?
or too late
We have a reliever named Blewett. It’s like they’re not even trying!
Buxton!!!
