yeah, that inning could have been much worse. I just wish the Twins could have cashed in on even one of their early opportunities. They should be up a couple runs right now, not down one - zip.

Good damage control from Milone. RBI double play ball, then a pop up to Sano, whose fielding percentage is still 1.000!!

Out of it with 1 run is acceptable.  It's a shame he lost Walker after the leadoff triple...had him 0-2.

 

 

Speaking of 1.000 for the day, Hicks is 2 for 2 now.

Nice throw to catch Hicks trying to steal.

Oh well.

 

Caught stealing...

Yeah that throw had to be perfect to get him....and it was.

nice job Fryer- let's make Jimenez cough up the lead here...

Late break by Hicks, nabbed at 2. Another area where Hicks will improve by baby steps?

 

Fryer shows exactly what he does with the bat. Slap single past the second baseman. One pitch too late.

He's 7-9 in SB attempts now this year, not too bad. 

was that third strike a little high to Danny?

Danny Santana's ongoing quest to post the lowest WAR in baseball history continues. 

I want to like Danny Santana.  But he can make it hard to do.

Gotta give props to Jibaldo Jimenez. The guy's making pitches (and plays) when it counts. Every bit the pitcher as Milone, with even better stuff.

 

was that third strike a little high to Danny?

 

No, not at all.  It was a strike every day of the week.

Sano makes nifty play at third.

Good snag on a hard hit ball by Sano.  Milone looks pretty good today.

I am becoming a believer in Milone.

I 100% agree with this.  

Milone back on track.

 

Hot grounder to Sano, fielded with no prob. Fielding percentage: 1.000. Gold glove?

Mauer with the worst AB of the day?

Plouffe's having a nice game today...

Great job Plouffe taking that ball the other way.  Now let's bring him in! C'mon Miguel!

I haven't looked at Plouffe's spray chart but it seems like he has more oppo power this season.

Jimenez is looking cocky. Who's going to knock the stuffing out of him?

Come on Torii...

 

Mauer with the worst AB of the day?

 

Rosario's first AB was bad.  These were just nasty pitches.  Be glad to have Jiminez out of there, probably after this inning per the pitch count.

Damn, Miguel. That was laced.

Plouffe and Sano both hit bullets.

 

Torii time!

 

Damn, Miguel. That was laced.
