Big surprise there, at least to me.

That has been a standard for the Twins all season, and last season also.

[stringer bell]

Why are they hitting for Baez?

I would guess Garlick.

I lean that way, too.  Celestino has more to offer the team than Garlick does.

Celestino needs work on hitting , Garlick does not, so odds are for Celestino.

[Parfigliano]

Now someone kick the bat rack and wake em up.

[Mill1634]

Good start. Wondering if Rocco pushes Gray another inning or if he goes to the bullpen for 3. If he does, I assume we see Jax, Pagan, and Duran to close this one out.

[Mill1634]

I think there is zero shot Garlick is shut down. Celestino doesn't hit and his CF defense isn't that much better than Gordon's. On the other hand, Garlick is one of the teams best 4 hitters vs LHP, and there are plenty of options to platoon him with.

Let's get a couple insurance runs now

Fo shizzle. Got one more!

GIO! Bottom of the order wakes up the bats against the best Detroit reliever.

Sanchez isn't the answer at catcher.  He has been brutal over his last 10 - 15 games

 

[h2oface]

Watkins tried to stop Urshela. Good job again, Tommy. Good for Urshela to ignore him.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Time for Polanco to HR.

I don't think so. He doesn't offer much at all on offense, Zero power so far and despite an above-average BABIP, his production has been minimal.

[RickOShea]

Tigers don't play bad baseball.  they just come up a little short. Very frustrating.

Gray done at 84 pitches? SMH

Expand  

With a lead of at least four runs and nine outs to go, the likelihood is great.  Outstanding start for Sonny today.

HIP HIP! Just what we needed

[RickOShea]

The Indians are playing ' booger'  baseball.  We just can't seem to shake them off our finger.

[stringer bell]

Since July 1, Polanco has easily been the Twins' best hitter.

Zero respect for Grossman's arm in left field
