Mauer (Who Else?) Breaks Through: 1-0 Twins

With two out in the sixth inning, and Nick Punto on third, deserving

Joe Mauer dug in against deserving Cy Young winner Zack Greinke. After falling into an 0-2 hole, Mauer roped an

single for the first run of the game. Given how loudly the Metrodome is rocking, given how well pitcher Nick Blackburn is dealing, and given the Royals’ weak bats, this is a huge run.
