Second game this year that Perkins has blown a win for Hughes, and of course I went over on 9.5 wins for Hughes.

According to the gamecast, Hughes is up in the zone. I don't like pitchers continually pumping fastball after fastball up in the zone.

I don't know what is going to happen against Zobrist, but the fact the Gardy keeps Burton in there is mind boggling.

Pretty good day for Florimon, 3 balls put into play in 5 at bats and tries to put a little pressure on the bull pen with an "error" the inning before.

The bullpen did a pretty good job of limiting damage in an inning which could have really blown up in our faces.

Maybe it is sad, but I only feel really comfortable when the Twins are up by more than four runs that way one swing of the bat at anytime can't tie it.

Suzuki with another big 2-out hit. I don't think anyone expected the bottom half of the lineup to have 6 hits and 8 rbi's. That is impressive considering florimonster is 0-3

Good quick inning for Nolasco there. Always a good thing to get the guys back in the dugout quickly after putting up a few runs.

Maybe that home run along with a good at bat for a walk earlier will start a positive streak for Hicks.

Hopefully Nolasco can settle in for a couple more innings to at least complete 6.

Be a good time for the first grand slam of the season for the Twins!!!

I don't know how accurate gameday is but it seems like Gibson is getting squeezed.

I know it is early on, but it seems like our pitchers think they can get away with throwing a 91 mph fastball belt high. We are way to far up in the zone so far.

It worked out to not bunt them over. I will eat crow on a statement like that all year Kubel!!!!

I don't know if it will work out but why not bunt over the baserunners?

This is my first post here but I have been reading this forum for quite some time. I am hopeful that Nolasco was just anxious as it was the start of the season, because it seems to me he was not finishing his pitches which resulted in a lot of pitches up in the zone. Hopefully, next time he will be better. As for Willingham, I am becoming more concerned with him. He did have a pretty decent swing in the 9th inning, but those swings are coming seem to be coming too few and far between. I figured Arcia might struggle a little bit going against a tough lefty in Sale, so I am not too concerned about him. Overall, Suzuki had a great game and hopefully Colabello and Hicks can have many more games like yesterday. Go Twins!!!
