Twins 7, Mariners 3

Can you say enough good things about Denard Span right now? I submit that you cannot.

That was a great game for the Twins, and they needed it. With the Tigers in Chicago it's imperative that the heat stays on the White Sox. That's all for me tonight, so leave your reactions below.

Stars of the Game

#3 Brendan Harris (2-for-4, 2B, BB, 2 RBI, 2 R)
#2 Nick Blackburn (6 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 1 K)
#1 Denard Span (3-for-5, 3B, 4 RBI, robbed Adrian Beltre of a home run)

Thanks for that link!

I stop by there almost everyday for some sort of research or another, but I didn’t see the article on Span.

Should be interesting when Cuddyer is back and 100%

There's an obvious solution to that problem

And the twins have showed some common sense lately. It’s probably too late to send Gomez down, but having him play around 2 days a week would be sufficient. And hey, if we had him to pinch run for Morneau yesterday, we might have pulled that one out.
