Game 60: Phillies 7, Twins 11
Padre covered for me - I'll pay it forward.
Big night offensively for both clubs as they combined for 31 hits. Blackburn gets the W and the Twins got 3 homeruns (Willingham, Span, Plouffe!). Revere, Doumit and Plouffe all went 3-5, Carroll 3-4 and Mauer 2-4 with a walk. Dozier was 0-5 but committed no errors.
JI JIM was 2-4 with 2 RBI.
Burton, Perk-n-play, and Capps all pitched clean innings after Dunce gave up 3 runs in the 6th (that mess was cleaned up by Burnett).
The Twins are now 7-3 in their last 10 and 6-1 at home since being swept by Detroit at the end of May.

As already explained by Gleeman earlier, today's matchup is going to involve a lot of balls in play.
Game 59 Recap
The Twins lost. That's the way it goes. Sometimes it goes that way more than other times. We'll just have to settle for 127-35!
game 58 recap: cubs @ twins
Tragedy struck in the ninth inning of yesterday's baseball game between the cubs and the twins. The potential was there for an epic three inning save, but apparenly a little thing called "letting a guy finish what he came into the seventh inning of" is a foreign concept to Twins management. I have but one question.
"Why do you hate joy, gardy?"
In better news, the bats got going yesterday. Plouffe has declared war on all opposing pitchers. Pretty much everyone seems to be hitting well lately.
Meanwhile, Scott Diamond's ERA is 1.61. Seriously. I know it's a flaawed stat and all, but that's pretty sweet.
2012 Game 59: Cubs at Twins
The Twins go for their first three-game sweep of the season today, right?
Ryan Dempster, who's on pace to have the best year of his career (though he only has one win...the poor guy's offense won't help him) faces Francisco Liriano, who is not, but has come back strong. Not that any of us ever know which version of him to expect.
Winners of 9 of their last 11, the Twins are now 24-34, which is bad, but certainly doesn't put them at some embarrassing outlier. I can live with that for now.

The Twins are 8-2 in their last ten games, which is the best in the majors. Plus, they're only a game and a half behind the Royals. Time to beat up on some more NL teams and move firmly into "mediocre".
