Game 80 Recap: Twins 6, Orioles 4
Two Twins wins in a row. Is that a winning streak? I don't know, I'll take it over watching them get destroyed by one of the weakest offenses in the AL.
Fun game last night. It was definitely the Joe Mauer show. I'm glad he's back. I was going to write this whole recap about him today, but SBG pretty much summed it up in today's CoC.
It's going to rule when the Twins win 14 more in a row and get back to .500.

The Red Wings overcome a big day by LEWWWW! The Miracle scores two runs in a doubleheader, but gets a split. A grand slam in Elizabethton deserves a Mention.

Game 89: Orioles 7, Twins 19!
Couldn't leave that one without a recap, though I did not see it or hear much of it.
Twins scored 7 runs in the bottom of the first, added 1 in the second, 2 in the third and another in the fourth. It wasn't until the fifth that they failed to score during the home-half of an inning. Meanwhile, Baltimore didn't put up a crooked number until the fifth and Diamond did what he had to do with all of the run support: finished 6 innings and allowing 5 runs on 9 hits while striking out 3 and walking 1.
Every Twins starter had a hit except Doumit who still managed to pick up 2 RBI and a run scored. Morneau went 4-5 to continue his hit streak as did Plouffe. Span only managed 5 RBI on 3 hits including 2 doubles. Mauer jacked a donger, just because he felt like it.
Oh, and just for fun, the Twins added 5 more runs in the 8th to get that nice round number - 20 hits on the night.
Thome did not hit.
Capps gave up a 2-run homer to Chavez and is hurt again.

It probably would have been smarter for the Twins to save their 19 runs for a pitcher like Evan Samuel Deduno rather than for pretty boy Nicky Scott Diamond.
I was starting to worry that the Twins might not win the division this year but to echo the Padre "I feel confident that if we score nineteen runs every game, it'll happen!"
