I've spent a grand total of 7 waking hours inside over the past three days, and as such, haven't watched much baseball. I won't see today's game either. Hopefully the fellas can start the 2nd half of the season the way they finished off the first half, beating the Kansas City Royals at their house.

We finally get the chance to see the Twins' big off-season acquisition as  Ervin Santana has been reinstated following his 80-game PED's suspension. Santana spent 2013 with the Royals, going 9-10 with a 3.24 ERA. Trevor May has been sent to the bullpen to make room in the rotation for Santana.

Opposition pitcher is Danny Duffy - 0-4 in his past five starts, with an 8.14 ERA and a combined 2 runs of offense in support...hey, I'll take another one like that!
