Twins 7, Mets 3
Johan who?
In their first encounter with former staff ace Johan Santana, now of the New York Metropolitans, the Twins tagged him for five runs and nine hits in 3 1/3 innings, on their way to a 7-3 victory.
Heroes
Danny Valencia (2-for-4, solo home run off Santana)
Wilson Ramos (2-for-3, solo home run off Santana)
Brendan Harris (2-for-4, two-run double that chased Santana)
Matt Tolbert (2-for-3 with a double, pushing his average all the way up to .174)
Jason Kubel and his beard (2-for-4 with a double)
Kevin Slowey (3 IP, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2K, worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the 3rd)
Timothy Olyphant (plays the lead in FX's Justified, which is awesome and re-airs tonight at 10:00 Central)
Zeroes
Delmon Young (0-for-3)
Pat Neshek (1 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 2 K)

Kubel got the 1st hit,
but his beard gets full credit for the 2nd hit. That hit was ALL BEARD.
I always loved that one.

Too bad all these stats are meaningless dribble coming off of minor league pitching.
Right
9 hits and 5 runs off Santana is nothing to sneeze at.
