Twins Win Again
On Wednesday afternoon, the
Twins completed a three game sweep of the Cleveland Indians with a 7-3 win. Michael Cuddyer
drove in a run in the 1st inning, 5th inning and 7th
inning on a single, a home run and a double to lead the way. Joe Mauer
went 2-3 with a walk and drove in two runs. Nick Blackburn got the start and the win. He gave up two runs in
the 7th inning after six shutout innings. Joe Nathan recorded his 41st save by getting the final
two outs. The win temporarily cut the Twins deficit in the AL Central.
·
Joe Mauer, in his last four games, has gone 10-13 with three
walks. It has raised his batting average from .363 to .374.
·
In his last four
games, Michael Cuddyer
has gone 8-16 with two doubles and two home runs.
·
Are we able to
say, yet, that Jose Morales is the
team’s backup catcher? In this game, he went 2-3 with two doubles.
·
Matt Tolbert
is apparently now the team’s 3B. But he went 2-4 in the game and plays a solid
defense. In his last four games, he is 6-12.
·
The Tigers beat the
Royals 4-3 on Wednesday night to put their lead back to 4.5 games over the
Twins.
