Shed's first play at third base is probably the easiest one he'll get and he puts it on the ground. That sort of stuff has got to really dishearten the pitchers.

Six inches outside on a ball that was curving inward and the ump rings up Vogelbach. That is about as unprofessional a strike call as there is. I mean, it's one thing if you throw a cutter that's moving away from the batter but this one was moving in so it was incredibly easy to call that one a ball. And Servais says absolutely nothing.

Looks like the way to light a fire under Kikuchi is to make a crappy play behind him. Way to get out of that bases-loaded nobody-out situation. Let's get Vikingbydynasty going early in the Twin Forum today about how much the Twins suck and are going to be under .500 by the All-Star break.

Bottom 2nd, Yusei loaded the bases for the Twin's with no outs. 2 strikeouts and then a force out later he gets out of his own jam. Zero-Zero after 2.

And as a result, Nellie's home run results in only one run. Pitch was in on his hands too, he just muscled that one out.

Michael Puineda ruined his quest for a Perfect Game by walking Beckham in the 2nd but through 3 he still has his no-hitter going.

April 10, 2017, Yankee's home opener Pineda had a Perfect Game going against Tampa for 7 2/3 innings. Evan Longoria broke it up with a double. Pineda ended up giving 1 run on 2 hits, K's 11. 8-1 Yankee victory over the Rays.

It took 10 pitches for Pineda to get Domingo out; was hoping Santana would break up the no-no.

Kukuchi has thrown way too many pitches, 68, thru just 3 innings.

There it is! Vogelbach doubles and M's get that first hit out of the way.
Now the scoring part is the next hurdle to jump. Won't be the 4th inning as Omar flies out to LF to end the inning.

So Williamson at .118 with SF caught Dip’s attention, Why?
