Fortunately, the forecast in Baltimore this evening calls for partly cloudy skies, no rain until Friday morning. The Twins look to bounce back from a lethargic (other than Denard Span in left field) 4-1 six inning loss in the rain last night. Glen Perkins, the Twins' most effective starting pitcher through the first five turns, faces Baltimore rookie Brad Bergesen. I know very little about Bergesen, other than the fact he's been pounded pretty well in his three starts. However, he gave up all of his 3 HR and 5 of his 11 runs in one home start against Texas. In Bergesen's two other starts, he's shown an ability to keep the ball on the ground with 27 GB to 10 FB.
