Delmon Young’s grand slam in the first inning helped catapult the Twins to a 10-0 lead. The Royals responded with seven unanswered runs but ultimately couldn’t beat a team that, realistically speaking, had to win.
10-7: Twins Survive Royals’ Rally, Trail Tigers by Just One Game
With this win, and the Tigers’ loss, the Twins trail by one game with two left to play. Tomorrow figures to be more challenging, as Zack Greinke (2.06 ERA) will take the ball for the Royals. The Twins start Nick Blackburn (4.08 ERA).
Meanwhile, the Tigers will resume their series with the White Sox in Detroit. Alfredo Figaro (5.74 ERA) will start for the Tigers against Freddy Garcia (4.78 ERA).
So, there are two teams, each with two games left in the season, and two blogs watching the closest race of the season on pins and needles (Twinkie Town and Bless You Boys). One of the things about competition is that one team that wins is happy and the team that loses is sad. Check back with these blogs to watch the agony and ecstasy as it unfolds.
