Michael Bowden has an excellent game. A good day for Jairo Rodriguez. The Miracle wins with sacrifice flies. Alex Real has a fine game. Logan Lambana pitches well in relief. Errors and walks doom the GCL Twins.

Game 135: Twins at Astros
Just because I don't want there to be a game without a game log. Go Twins!
Minor Details: Games of August 26
A brilliant performance by Jose Berrios. Adam Brett Walker II hits his twenty-ninth homer. A big day for Edgar Corcino. A pair of two-run homers sinks the E-Twins. Rich Condeelis pitches well.
September 5, 2015: The Hitch
I had a reason for naming this "The Hitch," but it sat here for a while and now I don't remember what it was.

Game 134 recap. Astros a lot. Twins zero.
Joe Mauer was called out at home on a controversial play where catcher Hank Conger appeared to block the running lane before the before arrived.
The game was over after that because Mike Pelfrey was pitching.
Here is something better than that game
Game 134. Twins at Astros.
Big series!

Minor Details: Games of August 25
Not much offense for the Red Wings. Shannon Wilkerson leads the Lookouts to victory. Good days for Logan Wade and Edgar Corcino. An eight-run inning does in the E-Twins. Walks and hit batsmen aid the GCL Twins' cause.
