Time for Larnach to get it going.

Missed extra point.

Gio really likes that first pitch, especially with runners on.

Six runs lead for Bundy is enough for at least one inning.

Okay, I won't gripe about catchers DHing....................today

Alex!

Need another big hit from Gio or AK.

Well struck Max!

Well struck C-4.

Weaver might have been able to catch or knock down that ball, but he let it go.

I'd like to see Gordon run here, if his hamstring is okay.

I’m excited to see the return of Alex Kirilloff. Not fond of seeing two catchers in the lineup. On a possibly related note, Kyle Garlick homered for the Saints in a 4-3 defeat.

Didn’t matter in the first.

Dodgers win. So one win in Arizona will guarantee first place when the Twins return home.

I wish Luis could be more of a stolen base threat. Lead off hits too often become lead outs on double plays.

An opt-out is immaterial now that Chi Chi is on a major league 40-man roster. He can’t be optioned so he is with the Brewers until he they would designate him for assignment resulting in a major league claim or the right to declare free agency

Tommy Milone selected by the Mariners. The epitome of the term “soft tossing lefty” will appear in the majors for the 12th consecutive year.

As long as he stayed off his lawn.

Celestino is hitting an empty .321. Also, I don’t see that much speed.

One of those games.

Not going well for the Twins. One of those days, I guess.

Just to dispute a couple of themes that Bremer has been hammering. Going into today, Buck was hitting .173 with an OPS in the .700s when DHing and while the D-Backs have a low team batting average, they trail the Twins by only 21 runs in runs scored.

More GDP than RBI and two of his five RBI came against a position player.

Now a 14-hopper and……

Two singles, two doubles and a homer in two innings. One run.
