Oops I thought this was the startribune blogs

It has been really encouraging to see Gomez have a good spring. I know it’s only a few at bats but it is nice to see him being successful. Hopefully he keeps it up going into the regular season.

groundball

“past Buscher” – haven’t seen the scoring yet so it may not be an error, but it sounds like he should have had it.

first inning

Span worked the count full, then flied out to left field
Luke Hughes hit a liner just past the shortstop for a basehit.
Gomez reached on a fielders choice
Kubel Grounded out

Posada reached on an infield single that maybe should have been an out
Damon hit a weak ground ball to wear there wasn’t a twins player for miles.
Luke Hughes made a nice catch near foul territory along the right field line, Posada tagged to third.
Hideki Matsui grounded to Buscher, Buscher bobbled it and couldn’t complete the double play.
I forgot what the third out was.
