CLEVELAND GUARDIANS VS MINNESOTA TWINS LIVE ⚾️ MLB Game Score Radio Play-by-Play AGO 09, 2024

uh compared to the Guardians and their aggressiveness and definitely Bailey our catching staff are going to have to do a good job of Trying to minimize those extra 90 ft bayley's been pretty good at limiting the running game he's a guy who's willing to hold the ball for a long time change his looks and of course didn't let a lot guys on base now he struggled at his one start this year against Cleveland that was back on May 18th he went four innings gave up five runs on a walk and four strike outs he threw 38 pitches in a two-run three hit first inning that is a ton of first inning pitches and Jose Ramirez hit a run Homer in that inning Tyler Freeman was three for three Bailey right now on a run of eight consecutive quality starts first TN to do that since Phil Hughes back in 2014 over the perfect in the count is one and one Quan has to be a hitter Paul that you enjoy watching well his Bat to ball skills are Elite for sure runs the base say added a little bit of a power component to his game this year nice little change up for a strike came to the front door with it it's one two Juan said he had convinced himself that it was okay to swing and Miss more but he's not swinging and missing much as he pops one away foul Gardner and Joe Mau those people that with two strikes they just find a way even if it's not a pitch they can put in play they can foul it off so they can see another pitch he sees a ball here two and two let's contextualize that for you the lowest whiff rate as a little bloop into shallow center field buckon races in good to see Byron back in Center he's under it to make the catch Quan is retired one out for Daniel schneeman Ju Just to put that in perspective again since 2019 for a full season the top five is for Lis Rises and one Steven Quan right now and the next closest year is over two percentage points away in David Fletcher I'm glad you repeated that because I think those type of players are a little bit underappreciated in today's game pitch to schneeman for a ball one ball no strikes schneeman 33rd round pick that round doesn't even exist anymore he's out of BYU as a pitch high in the count is two and0 he followed the Jack Morris path his came from San Diego instead of from St Paul he's had to grind his way through the minor leagues it's his first year in the big leagues his first ever career at bat in the big leagues he got a hit off Jake Irving of the Nationals the Bloomington Jefferson Grant two- pitch here is high and suddenly it's 3 and0 to Daniel nean playing at Third Base today as all World third baseman Jose Ramirez DH is in game one he's on deck over delivers 3 0 and that's in for a strike have a great pleasure to be on a a panel yesterday our moderator panel with Jim cot Bert b 11 lroy Hawkins and Glen Perkins at the saber convention here in town as the 3-1 misses and that's ball four high and I mentioned it because a big topic that popped up with 3-1 pitches and we were talking about the different eras and generations and the changes in the game and kitty was talking Paul about pitching to the score and how 3-1 with a five run lead he threw a fast ball every time then lroy came back at him with well why not throw a breaking ball did you fall behind cuz you couldn't throw a breaking ball and the two of them went back and forth banter it was a fantastic conversation as Ramirez bat speaking of fantastic he is an otherworldly player takes a strength well I I think it's fun to hear those players from past Generations talk about some of the new analytics in the game how they compare it to when they played runner at first base is schneeman obber again here's one of those long holes he delivers and it's popped up pop up back a home Jeffers loses the headgear he's near his own Dugout right on the top step he'll run out of room and the count is 0 and two Yeah by and large what ends up happening is it cir back around to where they all end up meeting in the same place with maybe different verbage they were trying to convince Burt BL that his Advanced scouting report he said was reading the newspaper the box scores and they tried to convince him he'd use a computer now to no avail he still gave up 50 homers in one year so the2 it's sharply to Second glove by farmer throws back to first but schneeman gets in under the dive that was close that was a very close Play Welcome Back Kyle farmer a hot shot off the bat of Jose Ramirez anytime you can send Ramirez back to the Dugout that's a win two outs with a man at first and here's Josh Naylor twins have pitched Naylor well this year he is two for2 against the twins he was just one for 11 in that three-game sweep in Cleveland that the Diamondbacks put on the guards and Naylor is a big part of the reason that Cleveland's offense is leveled up because he is leveled up as a player a shade is on with Miranda near the b or near short stop and a ball is high one ball no strikes but Naylor's ability to to play every day stay healthy and produce at a very high level Paul has changed the Dynamics because you can't pitch around Jose Ramirez no you can't and he and he's another guy that's fun to watch he's he's kind of a bigger bodied guy but he runs the bases like he's a Speedster and I think he really can generate some offensive momentum not only with how he swings the bat but just the way he plays the game overall 20 now to Naylor don't want to fall behind Josh he's the big brother to Bow Naylor and Josh this year 25 homers 82 runs batted in leads the team in walks he swings and fouls and sends one back home it's two and one no David fry in this lineup he's another Guardian offensive player who's really raised his level of play became an Allstar and deservedly so this year obber hasn't been his sharpest here in the opening frame but he has two outs and the two1 pitch swung on a miss a good pitch there that's the change up from Bailey oer and when he's in trouble that's often where he'll go yeah early on his control on that fast ball up has just been a little bit off but that change up has gotten him the first two outs of the inning looking for a goose egg here in in number one game number one of this critical four game series the pitch swung on a missed he struck him out over gets nailor and the Guardians turned toide scorers in the opening frame first strike out of the game for the twins if you're looking to strike out pests from your home call plunket Pest Control striking out pests throughout twins territory so Ober does the job and now the all right now chance if your Jackson holiday he's gone all0 for two in his first game back with the Orioles holiday drills in right field down the line FR slam the happiest of holidays wow ladies and gentlemen Jackson is here the first major league hommer for jackon holiday It's a grand slam [Music] [Music] rips this one fair that stays fair and look how quickly it gets to right field 120 double League at a a Cider Company here locally a whole lot of offseason fun and uh that is one to watch maybe we'll get perk to sign some of those pickle ball paddles Jackson chrio was on target yesterday the 20-year-old Phenom three for five two homers drove in four as the Brewers bludgeoned the brave 16-7 Trio 352 six homers in his last 30 Games brought to you by Target proud partner of the twins they've done a nice job in bringing him along Manny Margo first pitch hacking smashes one to deep center field over the head of Lane Thomas and all the way up against the wall Margo cruises into second pace and welcome back to the big leagues Joey cantillo as Margo smashes that first pitch to center field and twins are in business well if you know me I love first pitch aggressiveness you know the ball the batting average of balls in play on the first pitch are one of the highest of any pitch in the game Mar go jumped all over that first pitch fast ball well cantillo two games in the big league seven and a third total Innings 10 hits six runs and he's given up two home runs he started against Baltimore last Saturday first time through the order he cruised he got 10 of 11 and then they beat him up a little bit in the fourth inning he's been really good against righties but Margo got him and now a big swing on a first pitch from buckton and he tips it back into the glove of B Naylor it's 0 and one we talk about the twins mustering only 11 runs total in five games against Cleveland and it's up and down the lineup that they've struggled pitch High one and one now Cleveland a good pitching Club but buckton won for 11 Miranda won for eight jefferso for nine Castro 3 for 18 against Cleveland this year one to1 pitch in the air to right field Brennan just recalled from Columbus back makes the catch Margo's going to tag Brennan's throw is cut by roio and a nice job of base running by Manny Margo Fly ball out the other way for buckon but the potential first run of the ball game 90 ft away for Royce Lewis yes a a productive out there for Byron I don't think necessarily he was just trying to advance the runner you know his ability to hit the ball in the seats but he did a nice job of staying on that pitch and getting it deep enough to right field that we get Mark go over at third base with less than two outs for Royce Lewis his first at bat against the Guardians all season long twins are 0 and five against Cleveland and the first pitch off speed just kind of fluttered up there and that change up hung Royce watched it sail into the glove for a strike and the count is 0 and one think he'd like to see that pitch again missing down one and one in his career against Cleveland Royce has played 13 games he has five homers and 17 runs batted in so when you talk about the problems offensively against the Guardians his absence is part of that equation he's been really good at home really good as a DH and he's dhing today the pitch is downstairs it's two and one I think even with the Guardians infield playing in we know Rocco likes to run that contact play if we get a ball on the ground pitch down and in for a ball and it's three and one now to Royce Lewis Margo let things off for the double we talked in our pregame show about just how critical it was to get an early lead for Bailey over and game one of a double header can really set the tone and game one of a series can set the tone 3-1 pitch hard ground ball contact play was on it was muffed by schneeman at third his only play is to First he'll get Lewis there and it's a one- nothing twins lead hit him right in the glove he couldn't hold it cleanly I don't know that he was coming home Paul but that opportunity went away as soon as the ball popped out of his glove well when you run the contact play it puts pressure on the defense and I think he would have come home with that ball but he might have been distracted by The Break by Margo Bobble the ball and able to run a score one- nothing twins here's Jose Miranda pitches down one ball those strikes Miranda is the only active twin who his homered against Cleveland pitching this year Julian and kof each with a long ball against the Guardians and then Jose and that is it he hits this ball sharply right center field that's going to find the grass and roll for a pace hit cut off by Lane Thomas so Miranda will settle at first base they're going to try to back pick him and he's out oh he got too far around first BCE and he's thrown out Miranda singles to the Gap in right field but the inning ends with his feudal dive back towards the bag roio with a nice throw the tag from Naylor twins get their second hit but also head into the Dugout to pick up their gloves one- nothing after one on your home for Twins baseball this is Henry Lake of the lake show you're listening to Twins baseball on News Talk 830 oh [Music] well another big night in July for Gino Suarez two more homers he's also singled he's got 1 2 3 four rbii how about three Gino Suarez has hit three home runs his second career three Homer game and it's been numbers 14 15 and 16 for Gino [Music] reaching out Bobby Wood Jr into the Outfield unbelievable play and a double play turn it stop it and on his 24th birthday gives a gift to Cole Reagan Dodger fans just got treated as something that maybe they hadn't seen before they just got Bobby for Royals fans that's a daily occurrence but to get Bobby is to be wowed seven up seven down all via the strikeout for schames 11 strikeouts for SKS their family as their staff guides you through the process of buying a new car experience Mau AO for your car buying needs Chevrolet together let's drive lane Thomas acquired from the Nationals at the trade deadline leads off he takes ball one from bayy oer it's a one- nothing twins lead obber delivered outside with the cutter it's 2-0 he's falling behind 2-0 now to three of The Five Guys he's faced just cleaning up that final out it was an 843 put out it was Jimenez with the assist not roio as a pitch just in and high and it's three and0 now to Lane Thomas Thomas just 5 for 32 with 13 punch outs and no home run since being acquired by Cleveland he takes a 3 0 strike in the count three and one he had been over for his last 21 between the two clubs before getting a hit in game one of the double header on Wednesday it'sit this ball fouled down the right field line and Bailey's right back in the count three and two Pleasant temperature it's not hot it's not cold partially cloudy skies game one of a double header here at Target Field as a ball hit sharply to third Miranda plays it off his chest his throw to first is true and Lane Thomas is out number one good job by biley Paul follow L 3 0 and then getting back into the count and getting the out yeah a nice job by Bailey for sure that fast ball command not overly sharp here early but he got back in the count with three fast balls but I have to say that that was an excellent play on the well hit ball that Miranda was able to feel that ball cleanly and make the accurate throw that came off the bat 105 mph as Andre Jimenez now hits and heenez smacks one foul towards the twins Dugout Miranda played a heck of a third base at Wrigley Field his Bat was fairly quiet in the series but he went to his right he went to his left threw off his back foot threw on the run this ball fouled again up the first base line it's 0 and2 to heenez well we we know players put the work in but I had the pleasure of being around Miranda as he ascended the minor league system and just saw him every day take so many ground balls back back then it was first base third base and even some second base and he's definitely improved O2 swung on and missed a slider down and in and himz with that strike out is the second out of the inning and also now just one for 12 against obber in his career there are two out for will Brennan just recalled from Columbus and what a boon for Cleveland that Columbus is in the midst of a series at St Paul he was able to hop the green line over and rejoin the big Club twins wish he'd stayed on the other side of the river as he fouls the first pitch away because will Brennan in 17 career games against Minnesota is a 357 hitter with 14 runs batted in former Kansas State Wildcat twins recently signed kayin col pepper from K State as a pitch wide one and one well that St Paul affiliate being here played the benefit to both clubs as both teams needed to pluck up some play or some over there the one-1 line into left center field for a base hit Brandon continues to Scorch twins piggey it's a two- out single well you're right about that we heard from Kyle farmer in his chat with Gino he was all set to to get his workout in and then go meet his family and have a nice day before showing up at CHS later on tonight and instead he's back in the lineup at second Pace as his rehab was cut short by the need to get somebody on this roster who could play multiple infield positions including shortstop Brooks Le's announcement this morning that he was unable to go over's first pitch to roko hit high in the air right center field off the end of the bat Kepler's there he'll make the catch and a routine inning for bayy oer who throws up another zero in the second sun peeking through the clouds twins headed to the bat rack they lead one- nothing on the home for Twins baseball it's been to join us at 8:40 every week [Music] two and two and a high towering Fly ball left Center that's pretty well hit Ramos to the track and wall that ball is gone a two-run homer for goldi number 350 in his career this is a guy that has an idea of what he's looking for as number 10 on the season for Goldie as you mentioned number 350 in the career of Paul goldi one on two out one-1 oh Tommy unleashes High into the Friday night sky and gone boy does he look good in dodger blue number 22 and a two nothing lead otani's seventh home runs last 11 games it's a beautiful thing wow that ball was crushed my goodness or we could keep it simple Corona La Masina get your Corona at order corona.com relx responsibly Corona EXT beer imported by cron Port Chicago Illinois you're listening to the Treasure Island Baseball Network Carlos Santana lead joh FS right-handed against the rookie left-hander cantillo twins lead one nothing as a breaking ball drops low one ball and no strikes Santana Jeffers and Kepler here in the second twins lead one nothing Carlos spent so many years in Cleveland so many productive years and he hits this ball a ton a high fly ball that won't return it's into the Treasure Island Home Run deck in the twins lead two [Music] nothing Carlos Santana have been one for 20 against Cleveland Guardian pitching this year he is one for 20 no more out that home run by Carlos Santana into the Treasure Island Home Run deck Treasure Island Resort and Casino proud to donate $2500 to the twins Community Fund two things you talked about Santana maybe heating up and helping this offense and the second thing is I love that sound that was loud 108 mph off the bat 413 ft into that home run deck and left here's Ryan Jeffers takes High one ball those strikes yeah Carlos had been just three for his last 11 kind of feeling for it a little bit but he clobbered that pitch fast ball that ended up in the upper tank as a strike called on Jeffers it's one and one Ryan struggling against Cleveland one for 14 he's over for his last nine overall still leads the team in home runs still leads the team and runs batted in he hits this ball high in the air to shallow left rokio is out Quan coming in and it's going to be rokio with a casual over the shoulder catch out in left center field he made it look cool calm and collected Paul that is not an easy play no and I don't really think it was the easiest play for him compared to the two outfielders but roio put his hand up letting them know that he had it he end up traveling I bet you're close to 100 ft to catch that ball C is now the batter well country music star Chris Young performing live at Target Field September 13th Twins play the Reds and then Chris puts on a postgame show there's even a special ticket package with VIP field passes for more visit twins.com Chris Young Max takes low one ball those strikes Max has hit safely in 11 straight games here at Target Field Lefty delivers and a breaking ball misses in it's 2 and 0 in his short big league career lefties actually pounding on cantillo a little bit 7 for1 12 entering play today the righties had been just three for 21 Max takes a pitch just off the outside part of the plate three and [Music] 0 I get canela's last start against a really good Baltimore team and he Shackled them first time through the order through three Innings he retired 10 of 11 hitters and then they jumped on him second time through as a strike called it's three and one a two nothing lead here in the second twins got a lead off double from Margo and scored him in the first on a Lewis Ground out they get a lead off Homer here in the second tra the Guardians by three and a half games yeah I think left on left three and one count if I was Max I'd be ready to turn on any kind of fast ball middle in here it comes and he hits it instead the left field and deep Quan going back on it and he makes the catch and Kepler lines out to left field Willie Castro will bat he's over his last 11 what have you seen from cantillo pitchwise well his fast ball has ranged anywhere from about 90 up to 92 93 but the big thing I noticed in that first inning was a large differential to that change up which is his favorite secondary pitch it's about 15 or 16 miles an hour brings back memories of the old Johan Santana change up and he throws a first pitch fast ball off the plate away one ball in those strikes will he throw it to the lefties I guess he's only faced one and he only threw him a couple pitches as the 1 delivery and it swung through one and one and on Q there's the change out well the three well hit balls we had maro's double and Miranda's base hit in the home run by Santana all fast balls one ball one strike and a big swinging Miss and it's another change and the count is one and two so he doubles up with a change up and gets a couple of swinging misses and now Castro wants to think about it Farmers on Deck two outs one in Willie Taps the plate he's been a more productive right-handed hitter this year he takes a pitch just in off the plate that was a fast ball in and it did not miss by much pretty good pitch see if he goes away with the change up here sets on the third base side of the rubber and delivers and it's in there for a called strike three doubled up on the fast ball brought it in just a wink and that was enough to ring up Willie Castro twins touch up cantillo for a solo home run from Carlos Santana two nothing after two on your home for twins baseb to Russia eats tweets we talk can you guess who is pitching during this legendary moment in Milwaukee Brewers history one ball two strikes on the ground a chance here Durham to Hardy to First It's Time the bre win let's take another look one ball two strikes on the ground a chance here Durham to Hardy to First the [Music] win the answer is CC Sabathia one ball two strikes on the ground a chance here Durham to Hardy to first time the bre win yes Sabathia a complete game and the

Cal [Music] Raleigh and now he hits a high drive left center field and jumping at the wall and Mak dictate you know the amount of time to build back up so there is some risk to the remainder of his season no question we'll have more clarity on that as we get through uh to the next phase of this yeah and addition to Joe Ryan Brooks uh Brock Stewart seasons over and Brooks Lee went on the 15-day injured list Chris well B Naylor leads off to third he takes a strike inside change up and it's O and one to B nail the catcher awaits and watch his strike two so a different look here from obber who had gone 20 and even 3 on a handful of his previous eight batters and now up 02 on the young catcher and the o02 changes down it's one ball two strikes twins have handled Baylor pretty well this year so far far one for 13 against the twins Cleveland 5-0 against Minnesota that includes a walk-off win and they come for behind winning the eighth it's a swinging Miss and nailers down on strikes third strike out for big Bailey oer and there's one down for the top of the order Steven Quan so all of the games have been competitive but Cleveland has won six straight overall against the twins dating back to last year they are 40 and one in their last five series at Target Field and everybody was waiting for Steven vs Club to kind of sputter and run out of gas that they're not going to do that you're going to have to go catch them as a strike called and we count to and one yeah I don't remember all the specifics of those losses early in the year I just know that they were competitive games and the Indians found ways to close them out 01 misses in one ball and one strike to Guardian left fielder Steven Quan loves hitting a Target Field 329 career hitter 857 Ops then again I think he loves hitting everywhere a strike called and the count one and two he is a tough guy to strike out Steven Quan lead the American League in hitting the pitch swung on a hit foul down the third Baseline Trevor lck his college teammate not in the starting lineup here in the opener so we're denied matching Oregon State left fielders in game one one ball two strikes over with one out empty bags and he misses high it's two and two hey this serious this series I should say versus the Guardians is brought to you by Pizza luch serving Minnesota's best pizza daily happy hour specials and $5 Summit twins pills on home game days at all nine locations throughout Minnesota it's piz luche as Quan leans over and spits on a pitch just off the plate three and two good take in addition to be being able to follow off tough pitches you take the close ones that are balls and grounds this ball fouled behind Sandy Alamar Jr in the first base coach's box Alamar and Carlos Santana chatting it up out there as Carlos was going through his warm-ups he was telling Sandy where that ball landed in the previous half inning lot of miles travel together with those two here's the payoff swung got to foul the way again still three and two we're talking at that saber panel yesterday with Bert Kitty the Troy and Glenn and great questions from the crowd and they were about you know who you didn't like to face and it was always guys like Guan who get brought up this ball popped up Shallow left field Margo coming in Castro going out Manny fights Sun makes the catch they are two away and schneeman will bat Paul it was always a guy like yourself or a guy like Steven pan or Louisa rice type PLO Pano's name got mentioned it was rarely the big slugging guys it was always the pesky guys you know I've heard that through the years that pitchers especially highquality pitchers they they knew that the power hitters were dangerous but they felt if they executed they could get them out it was those guys that could use the whole field spray spray the ball around keep your defense on its Edge have a little bit of speed to be a pain in the butt basically right I think that was the word Bert didn't quite use the same language as he's swinging Miss from schneeman and he chases another change up hits 0 and two well I know when I managed you know I talk I mentioned Brett Gardner's name and we became so much more aware of pitch counts and you'd see him up there 10 pitches 12 pitches and just cutting into that amount that you knew your starter had on that given day he he could blow up a game plan just in the first two out of the game swinging missed by schneeman he's down on strikes three straight pitches and over as his fourth strike out and he'll stride back to the Dugout still leading two nothing after two and a half on your home for Twins [Music] [Music] baseball for [Music] [Music] it's a quick 02 that one didn't there comes Yelich to the plate and Yelich is safe at home how does he throw the ball back to the pitcher from a knee he looks up I mean a great move by weathers just a bare handed and throw it back but as a lefty the first thing you need to do is be looking over at third base and moving that direction just in case but honestly that Minnesota oncology a community of care dedicated to you to learn more visit MN oncology.com twins well Kyle farmer back in a big league batters box for the first time since July the 10th batting from the right side against the Lefty cantillo and the pitch is high one ball those strikes farmer and canilla were both at CHS the last couple of nights Kyle had three games with the Saints back in Action tonight mom and dad are in town and he swing through the change up it's one and one the biggest news coming out of farmers know reinstatement of the big league club is the fact that he'd been hurt since last year that shoulder bothered him since the playoffs as he pulls foul up the third Bas line he thought it was better in the off seon just kind of played through it to start the campaign and his numbers certainly have suffered he talked about the inability to extend his arm and he hasn't played quite as much at Short this year so we haven't seen him tested throwing as much as a pitch High two and two but he went down got some work on it got some reps and while not probably 100% nobody is this time of year he is back 22 hit sharply to the left side diving stop for schneeman spins onto his feet and he throws out Kyle farmer nice play by yeah nice play there change up that farmer got out a little bit in front hit it fairly sharply but I I think people underestimate the impact that inuries have on hitting you know just your your mind protects your body you have trouble extending through the zone you might cut your swing off it just makes it much more challenging especially when you consider the difficulty in hitting to start with batter is now Margo and again second time through the ORD where cantillo ran into a buzz Shaw in Baltimore and the first pitch is high for a ball he lost that off speed pitch well and the other element of the shoulder PA not just hitting but it affects your daily life he talked about not being able to put his seat Bel on or sleeping is the one that I think of as a pitch High you have a bad shoulder your quality of sleep goes way down two balls and no strikes to Manny Margo lot of tossing and turning Manny awaits and the pitch is high and the count is is three and0 Not Unusual that a young pitcher this just his third Big League game would struggle second time through an order Not Unusual any pitcher would struggle against Baltimore's order that cantio saw last week as he delivers ball for high to Manny Mar go and the twins have another basem Well that second time through especially for young pitchers we've seen it with David Festa early on although his last start was much better as he navigated that second time through there's just a accumulation of information in real time that big league hitters can can utilize that second time through and I mean that was one of the other topics of this panel about pitching over the generations at a time when the task was to to face a hitter three or four or five times you were trained to get him out different ways and now I think we optimize pitches to figure out how to get guys out but there's only one if you're if it's optimizing by definition it's the one best way to get a guy out yeah the in the flip side yes the the hitters make adjustments but the pitchers sometime overthink that now they're having to face a guy a second time buckton delivers and buckton takes a strike in the county Z one just 1 for 12 against Cleveland pitching this year Byron and when you watch cantillo if he hangs one of those breaking balls it could be lights out against Byron buckon Byron back in action after missing the entire Chicago series he's been out three and a half Gam games swings and misses at a fast ball in and the count 0 and two that just might be the way to attack him here first game back fast ball's in off the plate trying to keep him from getting extended runner at first one out big hole right side there's a breaking ball away that was the change up that was non-competitive easy take for Byron hey elevate your gaming experience as a member of Treasure Island's passport Club join for free and receive access to exclusive benefits promotions and more visit tiic casino.com for all the details throw over to first base Manny Ducks back not a particularly good move but his delivery to the home plate when he uses that slide step would make it very difficult for Margo to try to get a good jump cantillo a former Hawaii high school player of the year pitch missed in and the count is 2 and two he came from San Diego in that Mammoth trade that included the likes of Naylor and so many others I cleer was part of the package going the other direction it was about a nine-player deal but there's the breaking ball hanging and it smoked foul up into the siegs third base side two and two a little too quick there's that differential we talked about the previous pitch 94 in off the plate comes back with a change up at at 77 and Byron way out front one out one on two nothing Twins and he bounces this ball up to Naylor nice job to block it and the count full three and two so as a hitter with a young guy like this Paul are you looking now and saying to yourself we've seen him face 10 guys it's 3-2 he needs to throw a strike what does he trust the most well I I'm going to make sure that I'm going to not chase a change up so I might have to inside out of fast ball to stay on that change up well Byron takes a fast ball in off the plate and that's Ball Four to Byron buckon so two on now on a pair of one- out walks and here's Royce Lewis now Lewis was early on a change up and kind of topped it down to Third Base to drive home a run on that contact play in the first he got the run home but we'll see if he's gone to school a bit on cantillo middle infield plays at Double Play depth for Cleveland first pitch change rolled right toward short scooped by roio to Second for one relay to

bit is Josh Naylor Now The [Music] Hitter he had quite a run pitch to Naylor down and in one ball no strikes it's it's fairly early on still only in the fourth inning but navigating this 345 here will go a long way to twins being able to hang on and protect that lead as they get into the latter stages of this game 10 oh swung on a Miss it's one and one well you can look at some fairly simple numbers Paul the fact that Jose Ramirez has driven in 96 runs and Josh Naylor has driven in 82 runs this year the next highest total is 47 so you can see who's doing the bulk of the work as a pitch fouled away one and two and I know we can get carried away with comparisons but you combine those two numbers and you're looking at about 180 RBI the top two twins RBI guys get you barely to 100 and now the twins do have nine players with 30 or more the most in the league as a pitch high so it's the balance there who On Any Given night part of that necessity with injury but for Cleveland Naylor's emergence I think has really helped Elevate Jose's play even further was a swinging Miss Naylor's got on strikes for the second time today and that's two away quickly here in the fourth I me when Josh Naylor was was young and kind of Mercurial or or not as consistent you could work around Jose Ramirez and Jose knew that and we've seen him the last couple of years expand a little bit maybe chase some pitches he doesn't have to do that anymore first pitch to Lane Thomas is wide one of all no strikes a little bit of protection behind your best bat very important for any good lineup also doesn't hurt when Kanan is on base all the time for those guys this one swung on a Miss it's one and one can't drive them in if they're not on base one ball one strike to Lane Thomas acquired at the deadline to try to provide some Outfield offense one-1 pitch in there for a strike Bailey cruising along this will be pitch number 59 here in the fourth inning gave up a one out walk in the first a two out single in the second that's it this Pitch hit foul third BAS Baseline stays one and two the way the division shapes up this week obviously will go a long way towards positioning the cars on the track for the stretch run in September Cleveland three and a half up on the twins who are a half game up on Kansas City and then there's Boston lurking in the Wild Card hunt as a pitch low on outside two and two so this series could go any of a a wild variety of ways a four game twin sweep you can dream on that twins are in first place a guardian sweep well now they're seven and a half back pitch bounced towards third picked up by morand he Scoops it up throws to First and the inning is over in one two three fashion Bailey over doing his job he sets down the Guardians in order and is not allowed to run through four we played three and a half [Music] nickname of polar bear he sends one deep to right field ranging back as nuke bar at the wall there it is history for Pete Alonzo home run number 200 just a fourth met all time to hit the mark and he slashes the Cardinal lead in half 200 home runs on his way for many many more is two- is in the center field and that's the ball game what a game it was a jam of a game goes to the Dodgers in 11 innings was TK Hernandez the choice got it here and it was Will Smith that ended it darned if you do darned if you don't and that's life against the top of this Dodger line [Music] to arrive in style and I'm just a guy to help make it happen come see me here at Dodge of Burnsville off cliff Road and 35W or always online at kingof ram.com warning ownership may cause sweaty Palms rapid heartbeat and an overwhelming feeling of Pride and Joy Jose Miranda for the twins facing Joey cantillo and the first pitch low for ball Miranda single to right center field in the first took a big turn around first base thought about second and he thought too long he ended up getting back picked at first the one pitch big swinging miss that was a curveball at 74 M an hour it looked like it hung in the air for an hour it was just up there and it never quite got back to the strike zone very tantalizing for a hitter the one1 swung on and fouled into the dirt one and two we talk about health and what a healthy shoulder can mean to a hitter casing Point Jose Miranda think what I love about Miranda and he is now healthy is Paul he can hit the ball the right he can hit the ball to left he can hit speed he can hit velocity he can hit up he can hit down he is not a a guy who you can put in a box as a hitter as one type of hitter yeah he's he's one of our better but bat to ball guys he's learning the strikes on a little better as a young player I think he thought he could hit everything he's trying to get that a little bit more under control and you know we really didn't hear a lot about him heading into the season because of the down year last year but to his credit he has emerged and become a big bat in this lineup fouls away that one twoo it stays one and two and he swings and misses downe he goes on strikes and that was the curveball so a lot of change UPS first time through and then maybe a few more hooks here second time through for Joey cantillo yeah five off speed pitches in a row they there to Miranda three curveballs and two change UPS early in the year the big narrative on the twins was they were seeing fewer fast balls than any team in the league now they became a pretty good hitting club against off speed but still not going to get a lot of heaters pitch High one ball no strikes to Carlos Santana who smoked one into the seats and left back in the second inning buen quiet behind cantillo he's a pitch low 2 and0 speculation as to how Cleveland would try to navigate with cantillo their 27th man they've got Alex cobu to pitch the night cap he has not pitched in a game all year coming off injury as the 2 wide it's 3 and0 and boy really hard to empty your bullpen in game one when you've got a question mark in game two both teams struggling to find answers health of their pitching staff it was a strike call that's three and one yeah for Steven vot that Guardians manager and Rocko I think they would both be very pleased to get five six Innings at least out of their first game starter maybe a little less likely for the Guardians I think you want oer to look like the dominant guy that he's been there a checked by Santana and he didn't go I that at ball four but apparently I had a ball was a strike two fast ball gave him the call on the outside corner three balls and two strikes to Carlos Santana swung on and rolled towards second base himz to a knee stands and throws and he throws out Carlos Santana two out here for Ryan Jeffers over for his last 10 twins lead two nothing over's throwing well but you'd sure like to pick up some insurance pad that number a little bit against the young left-hander in just his third Big League outing yeah you score one in each of the first two innings the zero is being put up by oer gives you an opportunity hopefully to add on here in the middle Innings this ball hit high in the air to left field deep into left field Quan's looking up and that ball is gone off the facing of the second deck and Ryan Jeffers adds on indeed Jeffers snaps his 0 for 10 with a home run to left solo shot for Ryan 3 nothing Minnesota number 17 for Jeffers team high and Paul as high as he hit that ball I didn't know if it was going to clear or not but it ended up carrying Deep Over the left field wall well in that last H standad he a Sim home run that was very high and you weren't sure how far it was going to carry today with that northwest wind I I didn't know if that ball was going to get hung up but he definitely got enough of it to hit it off that facing of the second deck three nothing twins here's Kepler and Max watches low one ball and no strikes lined out to left in his first trip the twins have four hits three for extra bases two of them solo homers that it's a rare fast ball in this fourth inning all four hit by the twins coming off that fast ball this one popped up it was another fast ball Max under it foul territory first Bas sh of things nailers there Josh makes the catch twins are turned away where they add a run here the fourth on the 17th of the year for Ryan Jeffers we'll have a scoreboard update with Gino next right here it's three nothing twins on your home for Twins baseball this is Henry Lake of the lake show you're listening to Twins baseball on News Talk 830 WCCO we do not mess up your name we pride we pride ourselves here on MLB Central right right I'm getting them right we have a little game for you are you ready Lowa had his first big league hit against Nathan avaldi wow no oh your first knocks avaldi off the end of the bat nice one what were you thinking right there oh you your that doesn't count you ever have you ever hit a thousand for a year there you go to work against W sto stto hamers this to right field and gone a solo shot for ju sto is 10th of the year and we are all tied up and this is belted and deep and Way Gone Wow first multi-home run game with the Yankees 18th of his career it's a quick 02 that one didn't there comes Yelich to the plate and Yelich is safe at home how does he throw the ball back to the pitcher from a knee he looks up I mean have a great move by weathers just to beand it and throw it back but as a lefty the first thing you need to do is be looking over at third base and moving that direction just in case but honestly that hardly ever happens it is the most in Seattle history they defeated the Tigers a 4 to3 Seattle Houston tied to top the American League West yeah Rick RZ fired up Gino on that one as Andre hamz leads off against bayy berbert takes a first pitch for a strike he is one for 12 against obber in his career over delivers and a foul ball and it's 0 and two now that happens every pitcher every hitter they have that one guy they just don't see that well but jnez Paul is such a good hitter against everybody else that's a real credit to Bailey over over time those things become as much of a mental battle as a physical battle go two pulled foul first base side you look at himz is a guy who against the twins this year is hitting 400 with an Ops over a th000 and yet obber has been his Kryptonite had foul ball might have got down into the camera well the umpire's checking Jeffers checking make sure everything's okay why don't well he's going to get back in behind there we'll sneak that ID in here in a minute O2 pitch and it's low one ball and two strikes three nothing twins lead we're in the top of the fifth inning and Paul is a manager and a double header game one you want a quick game you want nobody to get hurt and you like to come out with a W and not burn your Bullpen that's pretty much the wish list as a checked out at in it's two and two and so far we've been checking some of those boxes as we approach the halfway point we talked about the series you know it's so rare a four game series is a sweep either way if you split it the the Guardians come in with a 3 and 1/2 game lead and then they leave with a 3 and 1/2 game lead That Swing game that three out of four versus a split That Swing game is two games in either direction this pitch fouled away again yeah you're either from a twins perspective if it comes down to that that day four or day three game four and it's a chance to either win or split that's the difference between being a game and a half out or three and a half out it's not critical here the second week of August but certainly you're looking to pick up some ground if you can you know it be a lot different if this was the series in Cleveland that we're looking at sometime in the second or third week of September yeah last last road trip will be Cleveland Boston those should be big games another foul ball and a check in the count Coast full so started out 02 but now bayy obers has had to go deep into the well against himz this will be a pitch number nine on the way he checked again the appeal he didn't go and they lost it so himz will walk to first base and we'll take 10 seconds for station identification on their home for Twins baseball am830 and 1029 FM HD2 Minneapolis St Paul the voice of Minnesota and the home of Twins baseball news talk A3 WCCO well we talked about the running game himz is a part of that this team has stolen a 100 bases himz 16 of 19 over well aware he delivers to will Brennan and the pitch is low Brennan has the only hit for Cleveland he's one for one just back from Columbus today Santana will hold the runner at first base Castro near the bag at second Miranda well off the line at third toes on the grass Line Drive over that a farmer into right field for a base hit will Brennan against the Minnesota Twins is an absolute hitting machine he was a career 357 hitter against the twins coming in and he's two for two today roio is now the batter in the number eight spot TI and run at the plate nothing cheap about that clean line drive to right field twinch playing both Corners in here for the possibility of the Indians trying to excuse me the Guardians trying to get back in the game rokio does show bunt then pulls the B the bat back and he takes a ball one ball no strikes on that first pitch change up I'm sure you've been through this but I knew I was going to say Indians at some point right I got you about three right now we're just going to keep a counter and just put a nickel in the jar I know I'm going to call you Danny at some point three days so we probably even it out Miranda Santana cornered off Carlos in a in a runner stance at first base long hold overd delivers and he drops a pitch wide it's 2 and0 if you're Roo where are you looking if indeed you're looking to drop a bun here in a first and second situation if I can make Miranda charge and feeli the ball I I'm going to advance the runners with with Santana playing as close as he is have I but one too firmly over there Miranda can recover and get back and you might get the lead Runner but I think as we as we get into the deeper count here two and0 and the hitters Advantage I'd be surprised if they still try to do it here roio over into the on Deck Circle chatting with Naylor and looking into his Dugout as Jeffers talks with over Bailey's fallen behind 2 and0 he walked himz after an extended it back gave up a clean single to Brennan they're on at first and second twins lead 3 nothing we're in the top of the fifth inning big spot here Cleveland's first real 4 a offensively against over 2 and that misses down and in three and0 umpires in the grand stands are not real happy with Ryan blankney as that change up Miss low three balls no strikes over needs a strike here roio knows it and he watches it across the plate for a strike it's three and one critical pitch now for bayy obber him his good speed off the bag at second Castro sneaks in behind him and pounds his glove he squares around 3-1 is bunted foul Third Base shine so he squared late Paul and then just let that ball kind of eat him up a little bit well that surprised me a little bit on a 3-1 count a pretty predictable pitch in terms of the bottom of the order and what roio was going to see Santana had moved back but thankfully he fouled it off now we got a chance maybe to either get an out or maybe even a double play threw that cutter 3-1 had just enough movement on it now the 3-2 pitch swung on a Miss he struck him out with a fast ball well Circle that one in your scorebook three o count two on nobody out in a three nothing game here in the fifth and obber climbs back out of that three-oh hole and Strikes Out a sixth Guardian hitter see the baseball guys don't like three in one count bunts see it comes back to get you or not getting the bunt down they don't like that either there's B Naylor Bo tries to check and does it a pitch just off the plate and it's one ball no strikes to Baylor Bailey's getting a little frustrated with a couple of these close pitches not being called he's got to kind of take a breath don't let that affect your next p pitch and your ability to execute it Bailey is one of the more level-headed guys you'll find on the mound rarely do you see his emotions bubble to the surface has that great stoic demeanor on the hill looks back to Jimenez now delivers and drops that one in for strike it's one and one well that change up has been his security blanket all game long one out Runners on at first and second twins have not turned a lot of double plays this year farmer pulled way over to the pole side and a pitch over for a strike and the count is one and two twins are going to turn one it's basically going to have have to be a well hit grum ball right at Kyle farmer or right at Carlos Santana well I like how you're thinking keep Quan from coming up there with runners in scoring position you can get a double play ball here the onew on the way swung on and fouled away Quan and the rest of his teammates have been so good with runners in scoring position all year long remember at the start of the year it was Cleveland and Kansas City with RNs and scoring position Far and Away the League's best and they've really just never come back to earth here's the pitch swung on and pulled foul just past first base fans trying to make some noise this ball game of course was a makeup game good crowd has turned out to enjoy the afternoon I think we'll see a great crowd tonight and I look forward to tomorrow's Hall of Fame crowd being monstrous hey today's afternoon crowd a little bit better than I expected with the makeup game good day to be out here good match up on the mound and this one popped away foul again it stays 1 and two I know it's August but I think there is some sense because you only see the Guardians for 13 games now instead of 19 I think there is a sense among fans like yeah this is a big Showdown weak and a chance to either seize control or at least avoid falling too far off the pace in the division no need to watch the scoreboard two strike pitch down and in and it's now two and two to B pitch count starting to climb for Bailey he's at 85 pitches here in the fifth one out Runners on a first and second the dangerous Quan on Deck trying to protect a three nothing lead the pitch swung on a miss struck him out seventh strike out for over it was down and off the plate and Naylor out on strikes for the second time and now the real task a couple of strikeouts Roo nailor sure but Steven Quan's a guy who puts the ball in play at an incredible rate and he now bats with two on and two out in the inning he has flyed to Center he has flyed to left from the left side and the pitch is just High one ball no strikes he was an Oregon State I say star because he's such a good player but he wasn't really regarded as a star on a team that was loaded with true stars and adley Rutman was at the top of that list he was the most well regarded as a prospect Nick madreal Trevor laick and Quan was kind of I guess he was the not just the second fiddle he was the fourth chair OBO on that team that won the College World Series and Trevor lck when you talk to me says I don't know why guys slept on Quan he was always a hitting machine and he hits this ball high in the air to right field exactly what the Twins were hoping for Kepler's under it he makes the catch and Quan is fed out to all three twins outfielders today great job Indeed by Bailey over leaves a couple Guardians on base behind him we played four and a half it's 3 nothing Minnesota on your home for cl baseball [Music] [Music] it [Music] [Music] it is the Dr in [Music] the Corbin Fly ball right field it's gone it's gone and they walk it off they were down 6 nothing and they win it n to8 his first ever walkoff home run wow it doesn't get any better than this Corbin Carol of all guys he gets a split finger up in the zone and hammers it out of here it's every Sunday at Target Field all season long get your tickets at twins.com kidsss you're listening to the Treasure Island Baseball Network this series with the Guardians brought to you by Pizza luch serving Minnesota's best pizza daily happy hour specials and $5 Summit twins pills on home game days at all nine locations throughout Minnesota bottom of the fifth inning and Willie Castro takes a strike from Joey cantillo cantillo still out there and he bounces this one it's one and one there has been some movement in the bullpen but cantillo who struggled second time through the order against Baltimore last time out looks like they're going to let him run a little bit here as Castro waves through another change up he has been befuddled by that pitch now on several swings and if you're Steven vote and you're pitching is in shambles as well and you're down three you may leave cantillo out there as long as you can they try to again save arms and options for game two ground ball towards third schneeman picks it up Pats the glove and the former BYU cougar throws out Willie Castro Castro now 0 for his last 133 and Kyle farmer will [Music] back experience the ultimate game day with your group in the summit Brewing Pub party deck at Target Field enjoy unlimited ballpark Fair exclusive drink rail seating and direct access to the summit Brewing Pub in left field to learn more visit twins.com Summit yeah Summit Brewing Pub has some folks on the rail as we speak as Kyle farmer pulls one foul up the Third Base Line so many good places to watch a game here at Target Field and you could spend an inning a piece in any of nine locations make it half the nning the piece at 18 different locations and have that many great unique experiences as's a pitch into to Kyle one ball one strike I think you're right about cantillo in this situation his pitch count is in good shape in the low 60s he stayed away from the big inning you know three times we've we've put up one run ball two here to Farmer yeah I think if it was three nothing Cleveland I think cantillo would have maybe farmer and then he'd probably be heading to the showers but it's the other side of the scoreboard for the Guardians as Kyle takes High three and one and again the Guardians and the twins both know these head to-head matchups are important they also both know it's August 9th 3-1 and farmer takes high ball four now farmer takes his base third walk for cantillo and Manny Margo who's been on twice will be the [Music] hitter Cleveland in Minnesota in a in a twin bill is an odd an odd occasion in terms of some of the numbers that double headers have produced it's the first pitch a big swinging Miss this is the 40 or I guess it would say 42nd double header 42 and 42 the two teams in double headers against one another Minneapolis or the Guardians I should say have 11 sweeps the twins have 11 sweeps and then everything else has been split down the middle ground ball up the middle to roko rokio Flips to Second the relay from menz in time that's the second Double Play Turned by the Guardians today and cantillo is through five twins still lead 3 nothing as they seek to grab game one of this twin Bill we've got five in the books at Target Field on your home [Music] [Music] for for [Music] [Music] [Music] 22 and farmer it's a line drive sailing away from mly an impossible catch oh my goodness tip your cap Cole Irvin tip your cap everybody Cedric Mullins insane in Center Cedric Mullins flying through the air like Superman just Rob Kyle farmer that's the Hoffman Weber way visit hwc construction.com to learn more today Hoffman Weber construction an official partner of the Minnesota Twins the over's 89th pitch of the afternoon is a strike to Daniel schneeman and the count is ow and one hits the top of the sixth inning snan a 33rd round pick he's playing at third base here in game one as he fouls away strike two he is also the first player ever in Cleveland baseball history and this is astonishing to me as long as that organization's been around to play Short Stop second base and third base all in the same game as a pitch down and in he didn't swing it's one ball two strikes you would have thought just by some weird accident of baseball that would have happened before but no no one's ever done it in the same game that surprises me a little bit one two is high feel like when we were in Chicago and Danny and I were reading that Kyle Hendricks is just the third Cub ever to get 10 or more years of service time and only play for the Cubs joining Hack Wilson and Ernie Banks were like no come on there had to been another and there wasn't foul ball it's two and two so did you say that that was in Olive baseball or just just for the cups like you've only played for the Cubs but what about the second short third thing that was well the second was just for Cleveland okay that was just for Cleveland so they've never had a player play all nine positions left some of the other clubs have done Caesar toart it check swing did he go yeah he did this time no need for Shawn Barber Paul M can ring him up from here that's eight strikeouts for bayy over and Jose Ramirez will be the batter well two of the boxes you want to check when facing Jose is be ahead check 3 0 and don't have anybody on base that's another check as Jose hits the first pitch high and foul down the Third Base Line five for 15 career against bayy oer and he's had a really really good year you described him as an MVP candidate and he is almost every season he watches a good tough strike on the inside corner but you can tell by the way he took that ball that that was a really nasty pitch they just barely barely catching the inside corner he had him looking out over Ramirez awaits the O2 swung on and missed he struck him out ninth strike out for over he gets Ramirez and there are two away here in the sixth good pitch you know one of the things that I I've really come to admire about biley as I've watched him go through this extended streak of consistency is the unpredictability of what pitch he's going to throw and what counts into what hitters pitch down and in explain what you're talking about we all know that he's got a really good change up it it gets a lot of big outs for him but there he's facing Ramirez for the third time and he showed him a change up but he end up showing him a slider and cutter and that fast ball that tailed back in on the inside corner I just think it's hard to think along with what Bailey's going to try to do on each and every pitch big swinging a miss him the change here it's one and one do you think the addition of that hard cutter of his or slider and his ability to to throw it for strikes has opened up the change up to even more effective I think for the left-handed hitters it's been a really big pitch just keeps them a little bit more honest from being able to dive out there misses in with the change it's two and one you know I I think about pitches that were difficult for me I don't like to talk about that too much but Mike massina I know he was a Stanford Grand but scrad but he just outsmarted me more than anything else nber back to the mound obber drops it fumbles it can't make a play oh and he spikes the ball down into the dirt he's Furious a little swinging bunt he made a great pitch a great pitch that ball was 32 mph skimming through the grass Bailey a long way to go to get down to planet Earth reached down grabbed it lost it grabbed it lost it again and he is fuming as he goes through the back of the mound well Naylor caught that ball right off the end of the bat and as bayy tried to backhand to the ball it was just meeting the point where the grass meets the dirt off the right side of the mound towards third base and he didn't feel it cleanly but then when he tried to go pack pick it back up again he dropped it for a second time so an error charge to obber and he'll Face Lane Thomas he's done 101 pitches I think he gets Thomas and he hands this one over to the bullpen he leads three nothing ALC is up and warming you mentioned muen and you've talked about him before just that you could not figure out a sequence with him right like he would make things up on the Fly always different and not not everybody had the ability to have enough different pitches or sequence to do that but generally when You Face guys you know multiple times a year and over a lot of Seasons you kind of understand what they're trying to do but he was just one of those guys that always seemed to be a step ahead of the thought process almost like he could read my mind as to what maybe I thought I should be looking for and then cross me up with something totally different and I see and I see that with Bailey today too you know they know I we've seen some weak swings on the change up but guys getting tied up on that cutter getting beat by fast ball here's Lane Thomas and the first pitch that Thomas is in for a strike after that chat with Pete Mackey Thomas is twice bounced out to third Bas the first time hit a rocket second time just a little number Thomas spent some time with the Cardinals Nationals traded at the deadline to Cleveland we're looking for some offensive help from him and there is that hard cutter just off the outside corner it's one and one you have a talk with me seen about that now that you guys I have when he got into the Hall of Fame I texted him and told him I'm glad the toughest pitcher I ever faced finally made it to Hall of Fame so the 1-1 that's in for a strike slider there so even within that hard breaking pitch he's got the cutter and the slider you know a sharp tight cutter then the biging slider differential on those two pitches the cutter at 85 86 and that slider more 8081 the onew hitting the air fouled down the right field line it stays one and two Bailey over's thrown 105 pitches he leads three nothing we're in game one of a double header game one of a critical 4 game [Music] series he readies pitch 105 it'll be his highest pitch count of the year ball in the air right field Kepler drifting under it plenty of time to size it up makes the catch and Bailey is through six scoreless here today Bailey oer Works around his own Miss Q on the mound and

Baseball Network Byron buckton 0 for one today watches a first pitch down and in from Joey cantillo ball and no strikes to Byron he flyed to right in the first and he walked in the third twins have hited two double plays tonight they've had a run in the first a lead off double in RBI ground out a homer in the second and a homer in the fourth cantillo has stood up well against the twins offense thus far 3 nothing Minnesota and there's a breaking ball low and the count is 2 and0 lot more curveball second time through the order and now can till third time through the order Cleveland strength this year has been there Bullpen it's been a little leaky of late a lot of use as a strike called they've given up runs in seven straight games and ra about 5 and a half in that span they have five players who have thrown more than 50 times already this year and that's a big deal you know they have had one of the best bullpens in the game they've shown a little bit of breaking down recently part of that is because how many innings their Bullpen has been required to pitch big swinging Miss by Byron two and two and I think three of those five guys that you mentioned are young players too you know not accustomed maybe to that type of workload Cate Smith has been brilliant he's one of them Cleveland a bit of a question mark tonight Alex Cobb is going to start and again he hasn't pitched all year acquired from San Francisco despite not having pitched and this ball is drilled into left center field that'll find the grass it's a base hit for Byron he's not happy with one zipping into second ahead first di but he's there and Byron buckon with a spark fifth hit for the twins fourth for extra bases Byron was not about to stop and exchange pleasantries with Han coner at first base he was thinking two all the way and he slides in with a double and he's in scoring position for Royce Lewis yeah ball that got in on Byron a little bit didn't have that zip to get it all the way to the wall but he dropped it right in between center field and left field and no doubt he was going to take two on that play best news on that play is just how clean he looked running the bases coming off that stiff back he's at second for royce royce has been fooled by a couple change UPS today and he hits this first pitch curve ball fouled on the right field line o and one first game for Royce against Cleveland this year droven a run back in the First with a ground out to third H into a double play in a big spot in the third twins looking for a crooked number some Breathing Room cantillo offers swinging miss that was a fast ball up and out of the zone and it's 0 and two Lefty felbar is up and throwing for the twins they lead three nothing if they could add a couple of runs here that could change the usage tremendously as the breaking ball missed just low that might have foed blanking it as much as it did race Lewis it's one and two it's a good pitch yeah close to clip in the bottom of the Zone with another off speed pitch here's the pitch and it's wide and the count two and two change up he turned over Eli Morgan right-hander is up in the pen twins do have lefties lck and walner on their bench today the righty Austin Martin leading 3 nothing and again if you can push that lead out maybe you save ja and or Duran for the night cap while still securing and not jeopardizing a game one win and that's the tight RPP that every manager walks in these double headers you have to win the first one but if you can do so more comfortably it sure makes life easier for game two the 22 swung on and foul tipped again and we threw these numbers down I kind of Bot the delivery with in 42 double headers between Cleveland and Minnesota 11 twin sweeps 11 Cleveland sweeps and 20 times they've split they are an even 42 and 42 in those 84 games pitch to Roy fouled down into the dirt again so couple more change UPS Paul he's got him with a change up twice already well I think that's why we saw the swing and Miss on that second fast ball in this particular count because Royce is having much better swings at the off speed pitches this go around Royce awaits R it's second nobody out look back and the pitch swung on and hit towards the left side of the diamond it's picked up there by cantillo and he throws it into the grassp but it bounces up to Naylor they still get Lewis at first base Byron scoots to Third cantillo had that major league moment where he ran off the mount he fielded it assuming he'd get the out at third but the blur that is byon buckton was already encroaching on the bag and nobody was home to take a throw so he turned spun kind of misfired to first but still gets Royce Lewis for out number one well a good job by cantillo reading those swings of Lewis there and he end up jamming him with a fast ball but buckon making a great read to advance to Third infield in for Miranda who whacks the first pitch foul up the Third Base Line well the thing about Byron you can teach situations in base running but in real time Byron is so fast that sometimes what the situation tells you is the right play isn't the right play because of his speed we've seen it on multiple occasions this year big run down there at third and the pitch is wide it's one and one you know it's like it reminds me of like in high school basketball when you have somebody on your team try to be the star that you're going to play against and then you go play against the star it's a it's a different level Byron's Byron's that guy on the bases yeah he's he's the guy in the orange vest at practice it's a pitch wide two and one it's this old story about Tom Kelly when he was in his office at the metronome the Vikings had Monday Night Football and they came in and asked him if he wanted to run the Scout offense and he had the little Jersey on he was the scatback the ZB back in all of the offensive formations running around in practice swinging Miss by Miranda he chased that one off the plate two and two and as TK told me he said I think they were not quite ready for that Monday night game because I don't think my speed gave them the same look on the wheel route that they were going to get on Monday I don't know why I have the image of Kenny Stabler in my mind that left-handed TK 22 upstairs and knocks morand on his rump and the count is now full [Music] yeah TK said it was all fun and games till they looked up and Scott studwell was right in his face he said nope I'm done heading back to the office Jose Miranda's office is the Batters box infield in runner at third one out need to get Byron buckon home yeah that's a big run out there canilla delivers breaking ball hit towards third picked up by schneeman coming home the dive and he's out back to First it gets away from Naylor Miranda will be safe schneeman who botched a play like that earlier in the game off the bat of Lewis this time plays it perfectly he throws out buckton contact play was on and it's a 5-2 put out and nearly a double play probably should have been a double play as Miranda able to leg it out and be safe at first Pace that's going to get Steven vode up out of the Dugout and I believe with the switch hitting Carlos Santana due to bat they're going to flip him around and have him bat from the left side pat on the rump from Steven vote as cantillo exits and Morgan will join the freay this pitching change brought you by eolab striking out the world's biggest challenges by protecting people and the resources vital to life a scoreboard update with Gina was next on your home for Twins baseball Jan from Toyota here at Toyota's National Sales Event there's still time to squeeze more fun listen I've been following you for a while man bottom line is you get your a swing off and generate a lot of Pop I just want to go I'm getting this A to B oh man straight to the ball Barrel hitting the ball is the hardest thing to do I'm a person from o I'm looking for spin I'm not going to lie I'm a I'm I'm going to look for spin but I'm a time up a fast ball o if you spin it I'm swinging like if you spin it in the middle I'm going to destroy it go would be 7 to six the padr is only two and a half back of the Dodgers in the west yeah the Padre's are playing great baseball we will see them on the next road trip in their beautiful Ballpark and they are filling that Park up on a regular basis Eli Morgan is on to pitch the right-hander has been highly effective in 15 outings one and0 with a56 earned run average he's only thrown 17 and a third Innings this year he faces Carlos Santana runner at first base is Jose Miranda and the pitch is down and in one ball no strikes to Carlos batting left-handed for the first time today they ruled that Miranda play in error Miranda reaching on the fielders choice and then they charged an error to Josh nen an assist given to his brother boning nearly the rare 523 strike in and it's one and one and Paul as you pointed out between Innings a 523 is one thing if it's a force out at home play but that was a tag I've never seen it when you have a contact play the guy gets thrown out at home and they still have time to complete a double play at first glad that Byron came through that okay those head first slides in the home plate always will get your attention the one-1 pulled to the right side it takes a weird hop himz kicks it picks it up throws to First not in time everybody's safe Andre gimnez is a gold GL winning second baseman he was racing towards the line thinking that's where the ball would be and it took some sort of a side hop on him and he had to reach back behind his body to grab it yeah I that ball really changed directions whether it hit a spike Mark or some typ of divot on the dirt was going to be a forehand play and the next thing you know he had to leave his feet and try to make a backhanded play they call it a single and he did well himz to keep that ball on the infield let's see what Jeffers can do with two on and two out he swings right through a change up in the county Z and one Ryan had just his second hit of the year against Cleveland a two- out solo Homer in the fourth twins lead three nothing looking for insurance here in the six inning two on two out and this ball hit in the air right field Brennan going back on the ball he reaches up he makes the catch just shy of the warning track and Eli Morgan slams the door so the twins get a leadoff double from buckton but can't cash in we've played six twins lead three nothing on your home for Twins baseball Jordana here join Adam [Music] and now he hits a high drive left center field and jumping at the wall and making the catch is Dotan varo holy cow doltan varo with absolute robbery at the left field wall Rodriguez takes his cap and points out to the left fielder one down nickname of polar bear he sends one deep to right field rang back his nuke bar at the wall there it is history for Pete Alonzo home run number 200 just a fourth met all time to hit the mark and he slashes the Cardinal lead in half 200 home runs on his way for many many more [Music] hits fans nine it's three nothing twins yeah nin straight quality starts for bayy obber and he's looking to be a 12-game winner hands the ball to alcula here still just a three nothing lead the Twins and the Guardians are just genetically not wired to play a blowout game every time they meet it's tight and today no exception it'll be jimnez Brennan and roio to face alkalin Cleland had not lost three in a row all year but they come into town on a five-game losing skit their third double header of the year and they have not won even a single game in their prior two they were swept by the Yankees and they were swept on Wednesday by the Diamondbacks that team's very good right now ala's first pitch is wide for a ball the way Arizona's playing the way the Giants are playing with Blake Snell the how he's throwing the ball and the way the Padre's are playing n going to be fun as a strike called and it's one and one down the stretch that is not going to be a coronation for the Dodgers it's going to be a battle the central the NL Central is a complete mess a line drive back up the middle base hit himz so Alcala comes out of the pen probably gives up the third hit of the day and himz a threat to run with Will Brennan already two for two in the Batters box and El centrals anybody's the Phillies the best team in the National League East and maybe the best team in the National League you got the Mets in Atlanta kind of jostling behind them it's going to be a very interesting push towards the penants well it will be a lot of teams that have had great first 100 games have hit a little bit of a lull this ball hit well in the air to right field Kepler on the Move scooting towards the line he Dives and he makes the C sliding on his belly onto the warning track Knox Kepler saved a hit and potentially a Cleveland Guardians run if that gets by him into the corner jimnez May scoot around all the way from first and score instead it's a fine diving catch in right field and there's one away for roio I thought that ball was going to be caught off the bat but it really didn't have a lot of exit velocity on it and it kept dying away towards that corner and Max having to lay out making a great catch big play in this game huge defensive effort behind Jorge Alcala Alcala facing roio now the number eight hitter rokio is 0 for two the runner Bluffs from first pitch wide one and0 Alcala has proven to be a guy you can run on whereas obber I think has become a little more refined in that part of the game how he varies his looks just the difficulty of reading him teams have run on alkal and Jeffers and there goes him andz Jeff ERS fumbled the ball can't throw stolen base without a throw it was a pitch that was widen and up it was a perfect pitch for a catcher to come up into and throw and he just couldn't get a grip yeah almost like an unintentional pitch up but you're right about alkala just doesn't have the best move over the first and as a little bit deliberate as he unloads the pitch towards home plate so runner at second base and now the 2 misses and they count three and0 and Alca in danger of bringing the tie and run into the batters box we've seen teams run liberally on the twins we saw the Cubs steal four bags on Wednesday and all four of those Runners came around to score runs as a strike on the 3 0 so they're not just window dressing or Stat padding they are creating offense and this is a tie ball game every bit of 90 ft counts this ball hit high in the air right field Kepler drifting back still going back he's under the overhang fields for the wall it's gone it's a whole new ball game Ryan roio onto the deck in right and it's a 3-2 twins lead as alkala gives up the home run to right just a fifth of the year for roio and a two-run ThunderBolt from the number eight spot in the order and the twins lead is shrunk to one you know I'm not sure about you Chris I I wasn't sure if that ball had enough but I'm looking at those flags up above those bleachers in right field and they're definitely getting a boost out there into the overhang yeah the big flags in right are limb but the smaller flags up top are blowing pretty well as B Naylor swings and nice play by Tommy Watkins with a barehand grab reaching out from the top step of the Dugout o and one Griffin Jacks is up so much for that insurance right and Cruising Into the between game session this ball tattooed center field Byron's out there and that's good news for twins fans he makes the catch two away boy ala not fooling a whole lot of Cleveland hitters here in the seventh inning when you think back to the catch Max made that if that ball drops in we're talking about a tie game top of the order Steven Quan they've handled him so far he's flyed to left Center and right also have to think about that leadoff double by Byron that we weren't able to Plate there in the bottom half of the sixth strike call O and one never could knock cantillo out they wobbled him a little bit but the Twins were never able to put up a crooked number against the young left-handers a strike called to Quan it's own and [Music] two twins are 0 for six with runners in scoring position today 02 fouled away 02 on some guys and the atat is over 02 on Quan and the atat is just started I think a little anger coming out on those last two fast balls both topping 100 miles an hour this one low on outside one and two well the twins want that they they want an angry Jorge alkala they sent him to the minor leagues and said look we know you can throw harder we need you to actually do it and and since coming back up for a third time he's for the most part done that this pitch rolled to the right side of the diamond for Kyle farmer Hoovers it off the dirt he throws out Steven Quan and we're going to stretch here at Target Field the leads intact is just a whole lot smaller 3-2 twins it's the seventh inning stretch on your home for Twins baseball it's time for the great mascot race Ready set go and they're off they're neck and neck look at him go folks the crowd loves it down the home stretch it's too close to call here's the play of the pl it's the Dodgers congratulations you won the great mascot race and that'll bring up Rizzo sitting on 299 career home runs highfly ball deep Right Center that ball is gone seea home run number 300 for Anthony Rizzo a two-run shot and the Yankees lead 15 to5 16 first player in big league history to hit that number 300 reliable affordable energy in a sustainable manner together we power what's possible learn more great Riv energy.com you're listening to the Treasure Island Baseball Network out of the shth it's a 3-2 twins lead over the Guardians another nailbiter between these two teams as Kepler leads off and hits the first pitch into the right field corner it's going to drop fair and roll into the corner run Max Run he's headed for second base as Brennan digs it out kep couple of scurries around second slides to a halt and then runs back into second and he will stand there with a leadoff double well it's the second leadoff double in as many innings for the twins now you got a score him that ball disappeared from our line of sight down into the corner and Max hch now at second base Willie Castro is going to about left-handed for the first time today Morgan still out there because Morgan finished the inning but then started a new one he's got to face his three guys Corners are pinched and Naylor and schneeman twins lead 3-2 daylight play and he nearly threw the ball into right field rokio RAC out to grab it the pitcher Morgan Whirled around but didn't have a sights right there is a lefty up in the pen for Cleveland Griffin Jax is warming for the twins let's see what Rocco and Willie decide to do Indians are preparing for a bun possibility Willie instead flares one to left field and that's a base hit Quan up with it they'll hold Kepler at third backto back base hits an inside out cut for Willie Castro snapping an over for 13 the twins now with Runners on the corners now Kyle farmer is going to bat you have lorick and you have walner on Deck the lefties but what you don't have is the ability to then move say Willie Castro to the Outfield and and move your chest pieces the same way you would have had to bring Austin Martin back into the ball game so it's two players for one spot so instead Farmer's going to hit they hold the runner at first guys we're going to have a pitch clock violation and the violation on Farmer not on Morgan puts him right in the hole clock got down there did have eye engagement with the pitcher The Defenders are moving around and farmer is in an 01 hole right out of the gate that changes your options the infield is tight Runners on at first and third and the pitch is low and outside one and one I think farmer only had about 10 at bats over there in St Paul but plenty of experience in these situations trying to look for a ball that you can Elevate at minimal get that run in from third with a Fly ball it's also a big hole on the right side of the diamond and the pitch is hit high in the air right field it's going to be Brennan drifting under it makes the catch Kepler tags Kepler will score sha fly Kyle farmer the lead is 42 twins you called it Paul he was ready and he did exactly what he was supposed to do yeah I know I know there's a lot of guys that think about three-run homers there but in a game like this trying to answer back from that two-run Homer from The Guardians making sure you get that run in and if you want to elevate the ball thinking about center field over to the right field side for a right-handed hitter is the way to go so a runner at first and the hitter is now Margo at the top of the order Willie Castro's at first BCE he is not stolen a base since June so if you're thinking hey let's put some pressure on that just has not been part of Will's game for a while now Margo is homward walked and hit into a double play as Morgan throws over to first now here's a spot where you could go to lck or walner and get your Lefty righty matchup and just plug them right into the Outfield but the twins not doing that there goes Willie swinging miss the throw down to second base and Willie Castro is safe as alen Porter says the ball has been bobbled at second base first stolen base since June 30th if it stands Cleveland's thinking about taking a look at this couple of elements on this play it looked for a while like Naylor and Margo we kind of tangled up and they're going to look at why not it's a 4-2 ball game and we're going to have ourselves a challenge brought you by the Minnesota Lottery good things happen when you say I'm in with the Minnesota Lottery Alan Porter is the crew chief Cleveland is challenging the safe call at first at second base now Alan Porter when he made the call indicated that Jimenez was juggling the ball when he made the Tag now he certainly did make the tag but the ball came right out of the glove what we learned when we visit the replay Center is that on a play like this they will say Allan Porter will say we've got safe he was juggling the ball they will give them that information while they review the play why don't we take 10 seconds for station identification on your home for Twins baseball am830 and 1029 FM HD2 Minneapolis St Paul the voice of Minnesota and the home of Twins baseball news talk 830 WCCO after review the call is confirmed the runner is safe Cleveland loses no challenge well Allan was right on top of it Paul and his indication was 1,000% correct it's an interesting call because if you juggle a ball on a catch out a ball in play if it doesn't hit the ground you've maintained possession but on a tag play with the glove if you don't hold on to the ball in the glove even though you keep it from hitting the ground you lose that tag it was a swinging strike to Margo run a second now for Manny and he pops this one up foul back at home and the count is 0 and two nice catch right down here to our right looks like a twins employee's got the badge on and he just reached over made the catch now he's shaking his hand out no balls two strikes to Manny Margo twins lead 4-2 big run out there and the pitch is down and away and the count is one and [Music] two the scoreboard here at Target Field has seven hits for the twins Gamecast has eight hits for the twins I have eight hits for the twins see what Kyle Hammer finds for the twins is a fake throw toward second by Morgan it's one and two another disengagement I wonder if the mixup was on that play to Hima at second base makes sense where kind of look like an air but given the Hop popped up center field Thomas backs up now scoots in and Thomas makes the catch Castro Bluffs but will not try and advance from second and there are two out for Byron buckon Byron will bat doubled this last time up he's one for two told Roco Bal Deli wants to play both games today Rocco said maybe to be determined to be determined Byron he wants to get those lefties in tonight's game against Alex cob that's for sure twins lead 4-2 the pitch from Morgan swung on and bounce foul Third Base side the count 0 and one well the Royals are certainly watching this ball game with interest they are playing very very good baseball right now and right now Bobby Wood Jr is just a unbelievable force of nature check swing by Byron the appeal the first he didn't go I'm not sure how many games the Royals have left with the guardians but I think this race is going to be three teams all the way to the end and a good chance that maybe at least two if not three of those clubs including the twins will be in the postseason I don't disagree a 1-1 that's up two and one Royals are playing the I70 Series this weekend against the Cardinals the other team to keep an eye on is Boston you know they Inked Alex cor to an extension that was a big talk in spring training and theyve just kind of scrapped their way along and hung in a lot of ball games this year 2-1 swung through breaking ball two and two here Boston hosting Houston this weekend another big series around baseball going to be an exciting run

baseball is brought to you by your select Heartland Chevy dealers log on to Chevy deal online.com to find a dealer near you well Griffin Jacks dealing for the twins here in the eighth inning Alca touched up for two runs in the seventh twins got one of those runs back they lead it 4 to2 schneeman leads off and the first pitch from Griffin Jack is a ball that misses in one ball no strikes we talked about obber and how he can sequenc here with so many different pitches and I think Griffin Jack has reached that level too as a ground ball to the right side picked up by farmer he clows to Santana and there's one away here for Jose Ramirez Jack Paul can can throw that great unicorn sweeper of his but he has a good fast ball he's throwing a sinker now a curveball and his change up is really good I think the change up addition has been a really good pitch for him he'll throw it to both left-handers and right-handers hard to call a change up when it's coming at 92 mph but that's that's the state of the game these days twins have held Ramirez in check so far as Griffin misses in one ball no strikes this is a great match up two guys really at the top of their games sharing a division as good as Ramirez is his late game heroics seemed to be non-stop he really puts together at bats when he gets to this portion of the game that's why it was so important to get that lead out face him with empty bases leading by two the 20-0 pitch swung on and ripped towards the twins Dugout bounces back out into Fair territory it's two and one yeah it's why that add-on run there in the bottom the seventh is so bake two instead of looking at the potential tying run here game one of a double header game one of a four game Series game one of a seven game homes te it's a pitch low in the count three and one twins will come out of this four game series either a half game in front 7 and 1/2 Behind still three and 1/2 out or one and a/ half out five and a half out all odd numbers nothing even this ball fouled away and we count three and two Jose Ramirez to be be followed by Josh Naylor you'll see Ramirez at third I'm sure in the night cap durable durable and productive and the

out of Extra Innings we'll have plenty of time Pedro Aila first pitch fouled Away by Royce Lewis it was a change up boy it has been a change up Factory there for the Guardians pitching crew today Joey cantila then Eli Morgan canilla was impressive I thought as a pitch wide one and one for a guy making his third outing in the big leagues he's ranked their ninth best Prospect doesn't throw really hard but that he was he wasn't scared he worked inside Paul and he had the twins off balance most of the day yeah it was a solid outing for him I think the depth that he was able to take his team is was a big plus given the circumstances of the day and you know the Indians are looking at a lot of question marks around their rotation at moving forward well cob will throw tonight he hasn't pitched in a game all year as the pitch to Lewis hit high in the air fouled on the right field line and the bonus right now for Steven vote is he hasn't used any of his main guys today so whatever Cobb gives them he will have gtis he will have Kade Smith he will have of course clausing pitch delivered and this ball fouled right back towards Paul Moler but I think it's going to land on the roof it does and the count stays two and two Duran is up now for the twins so the twins would have used both Jax and Durant and that would make tonight's Bullpen usage interesting pitch down and away it's really the worst case scenario as a manager isn't it Paul a close game in game one that you're trying to win well it makes you think we've been having discussions in between Innings about how much do you go away from what you normally would do to try to protect an opportunity to May to maybe close out tonight's game breaking ball hit a ton left field but foul if there wasn't a double header you know Durant had be in here for the ninth but given the 12 pitch inning that Jack gave you at least was worth a consideration did you you use Jax for two innings and and hang on to Durant for the possible night night cap save payoff swung on a Miss by Roy he's down on strikes Royo for four here's Miranda well Durant is throwing and you can only hope that maybe some of that white sock magic every time Joan stood up the twins scored two or three or four runs right now it looks like Duran will pitch we point blank asked Roco Bal Deli would guys pitch in both ends of the double header and he point blank didn't really answer he just said it was very rare when you see that in today's game strike Callo and one I think Glenn Perkins talked about maybe a couple weeks ago saving a couple games in a double header and Brian Dunson won two games in the double header the lefties are weird the 01 big hook curveball low it's one ball one strike speaking of lefties Anthony ghost the former outfielder is up and throwing for [Music] Cleveland remarkable story in his own right Aila offers then it's upstairs it's two and one navila has to face moranda and Santana if it gets to Kepler we probably see ghost 2-1 low and outside Anthony was a speedy outfielder I think I want to say originally with the Blue Jays some with the Tigers yes didn't hit quite enough they cut him loose came back as a left-handed pitcher and he throws hard 3-1 curveball strike now they call that a slider but that thing's got a pump on its back like a camel dropped right in the bucket that time that's the same pitch we saw earlier to Roy twins leading 4-2 here in game one of this series haven't beaten the Guardians all year 3-2 is fouled away off to our right near the Press Box and that one's going to end up in a scrum of fans in Cleveland has won five straight series at Target Field they've won six straight games overall from the twins breaking ball fouled Away by Miranda AA thrown a ton of pitches listed at 510 about 200 lbs he's from Caracus Venezuela three and one on the year in ra a shade under four got a strikeout for inning pitch healthy dose of home runs given up out of the bullpen was seven and the pitch in the air and well struck to right field chasing Brenan back towards the overhang and he catches it for out number two the twins did pick up a run on Elon Morgan in the seventh meaning it's eight straight games that the Guardians Bullpen has given up at least a single run caros Santana will back longtime Cleveland player well respected certainly in that community still has a home there

blue Ras lemonade or green apple Cherry go grab an ice cold can of Celsius had come now game time is fueled by Celsius essential energy you're listening to the Treasure Island Baseball Network day baseball here at Target Field twins and Cleveland making up a game that was weathered out earlier this year and the twins in game one of his twin Bill leading 4 to2 as they hand the ball to Jawan Duran Duran is 6 and5 he saved 15 of 16 he had a hiccup in the middle of the first half and that hiccup was triggered by this Cleveland team I think that one blown save he gave up the walk-off to Ramirez I'm not sure if that was a blown save or a tie game situation but he took the loss in consecutive games May 17th and May 19th May 19th with 23ds of an inning gave up three runs walked a couple of guys so May 17th May 19th arguably is his worst back-to- back games of the year Larry DeVito is now getting a visit from Ryan blank he's asking him to turn the lights on so they are asking for the lights to go on and here they go good good call there little overcast we're also hearing uh rule change again the scoring change and I believe they've taken the error away from Josh Naylor on that 523 attempt earlier in the game they figure that out later for the time being it's all about Lane Thomas and Joan Duran and the first pitch is a splitter strike in the county Z and one Duran worked in the eighth inning against the Cubs hadn't pitched much lately as he misses low one and one every time he got up in the White Sox series the twins scored a ton of runs and he sat back down getting some work here and looking for a 16th save pitch on the way there for a strike and the count is one and two the previous outings against Cleveland that sparked all the talk about his usage he was throwing a bunch of curve balls there's a swinging Miss and down goes Lane Thomas strike out for Jaan Duran and there's one away I believe it was the the home run by Jose Ramirez it was also a home run in in another game of that Series against Duran and I want to say it was it was Brennan or Freeman both breaking balls yeah all on breaking balls is this one is fouled away he's got a good one and that fast ball at 102 is a good one as well as a menz fouls it off 0 and one Durant trying to lock this one down twins in search of a victory here in game one of this double headed the 01 on the way swung on and popped away down the third Baseline 0 and two there was Brennan and Brennan is the man in the Onex Circle different feeling when you win game one of a double header and I think if you're the Twins and you had Bailey obber going against the Ry canilla you had to feel confident like this is a game we need to get trying to do just that two strike picks swung on and missed there's the curve ball and it's good for out number two all that stands between Jan Duran and his 16th save is Will Brennan Brennan is two for three loves hitting against the twins just back from Columbus now that extra run big part of this here because he's not the ti run at the plate wasn't for Kepler's Kats he would have been three for three heading into this head bat yeah and it would be a one-run game a ground ball back up the middle base hit will Brennan is like St musel against the Minnesota Twins another hit 357 in his career a guy who just got sent down just got brought up he just can't stop getting base hits against the Minnesota Twins so now the ti run bats and it's roio he homered earlier in the ball [Music] game what' he hit there was that a splitter it was a splitter you know he'd been pretty fast ball heavy as far as usage the first two hitters he did get that second strike out with a curveball broko is the batter responsible for both runs tonight for today I should say there goes the runner they'll give him second base on in difference and the pitch missed it's one and0 one-run game Santana would have been holding him on base there but trying to protect more ground backed up and conceded second base twins just need a an out before the guardian scored twice this ball Sky away fouled down the Third Base Line 4-2 twins lead they've had to dig deep for it on a day where they learn they'll be without Joe Ryan moving forward they'll be without Brooks Lee for the next next couple of weeks at least they're going to be without Brock Stewart he's not walking through those doors they had over on the mound he went six scoreless now Jacks to Duran to finish it Durant fouls away or pardon me rokio fouls away Durant's pitch it's 1 and two six scoreless from Bailey a two-run homer for this man roio off of alkal one two and three short order eighth inning from Jackson now the ninth runner at second base two out two strikes TNS need this one here's the pitch this one G and fouled back it's still one and two Minnesota trying to crawl within two and a half games of the division lead give themselves one game clear of the Royals Roo getting some good swings on these plus fast balls I want to see if he can get them to expand on something out of the Zone off speed he dropped that curveball on him here's the pitch it's a breaking ball down and in the curveball missed and he didn't swing it's two and two everybody at Target Field on their feet it's been a nice crowd here for the Friday afternoon game again we're back for a 6:30 lineup card 710 first pitch tonight varland versus Cobb roko from the left shot brenon it's second two outs infield back Outfield straightway the pitch swung on a Miss he struck him out got him with a curveball and this one is over the Twins
