The Royals prospect is not responsible for Adele canceling the remainder of her North American tour. If you choose to blame him, I DO NOT HAVE YOUR BACK. Sorry.

Notes:
- If the game gets out of hand, your mission in the comments is to make up an interesting backstory for the newly-acquired Jeremy Reed.
- Jesse has an excellent primer on new Twin Brian Dinkleman.
- As you can see above, Aussie Aussie Aussie is back from Rochester and in the lineup this evening.
- I know two different people going to the game in Kansas City this evening. I can only afford bail for one of them, so it's first come, first serve, you guys.
- Our good friends at TwinsCentric are having a Twins Viewing Party at Smalleys 87 Club (the old Champps) in downtown Minneapolis this evening. I have been told there will be prizes and food/drink specials, and it benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Minnesota. If you're in the area, you should go.
Enjoy the game, everybody.
