So, the song “The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota” is about the Biggest Ball of Twine in the world, or the biggest one in Minnesota? It was unclear and has bugged me for years. Anyway, Detmers was back and looking to knock the Twins down as that team actually has something to play for. He went 6 innings, giving up 2 runs on 5 hits, striking out 8 and walking 2. Which was a quality start, and not good for the Twine Twins.
Especially when the Angels scored lots of runs. Even Drury got involved! Remember him? Yeah, that was odd, and makes you wonder where was this the rest of the year.
Highlighted Recap
Nolan got the first runs across with a 1st inning single
And that it stayed until the 3rd, when Drury doubled that number with a HR.
The Twins did get one of those back though in the bottom of the inning
And another in the 4th
But Niko got those back in the 6th
Seriously, who is this guy? I know I haven’t been paying much attention to the farm but WHAT
JOSE SUAREZ IS IN THE GAME! PANIK
Somehow, someway, AAA fixed him, as he shut down the Twins for a 3 inning save. WHAT
Neto helped
Angels win
Upcoming
More games vs the Twins. And then at home vs Houston this weekend. BLEH
