Here we go. Two division heavyweights who have been eyeing each other all season, waiting to see how they match up in perhaps an early playoff preview as they finally get to test their mettle against the best baseball has to offer....
Dang, I shouldn't prewrite these game logs in April apparently. Yankees in town and while we all are familiar with the Twins disappointments this year, the Yankees are only 2 games over 500, mired in 4th place in the AL East, also besot with injuries. Jordan Montgomery on the mound for the Yanks and he's okay I guess, but definitely the Twins can tee off on him a bit. Big Mike Pineda for the Twins coming off a pretty disappoint start last Tuesday.
Will be a steamy one at Target Field tonight but our good friend Twayn will be there making sure everyone is fully hydrated, finds their seat ok, and generally acts civil. Hey Twayn, it's ok if you give the old dude in a crisp Jeeter shirsey the twice over. Those guys are always trying to move into seats they didn't buy.
First pitch back at 7:10p. Let's go Twins!
Twins line-up
RF - Garlick
DH - Donaldson
2B - Polanco
1B - Sano
C - Jeffers
LF - Larnach
CF - Refsynder
3B - Astudillo
SS - Simmons
Did you know, the Twins and Nationals have the same amount of wins. But Minny has three more losses
I have to admit, my confidence level in the Twins for this series is extremely low.
Nice to see the other team go 0-for-3 with a man in scoring position.
Addendum to the lineup listed above: Jeffers is batting fifth.
I thought something looked odd. Thanks, I've updated.
That was an awesome at bat by Jeffers glad he got paid
Jeffers gives us the early lead!
Nice catch Garlick
thats a tough strike 3 on Garlick
I would greatly appreciate for the lead to be much, much larger than two runs.
could use a double play here
that was not a double play
TWINS BASEBALL!!!! 🙁
Big lumber bringing in the Yanks' first two runs
The Superman impersonation was both impressive and frightening.
this home plate ump has some room for improvement
I’m in the motherland drinking a summit and watching the twins piss away a lead. Summer 2021.

Insurmountable
Death by a trillion paper cuts
Four errors buy only one unearned run
