Game 109: Twins at Angels

As far as I'm concerned, the most important part of tonight's game is Denard Span's return to the lineup. Thank you, Bill Smith, for not trading Span for a reliever...I suspect we'll be happy we held on to a bona fide leadoff hitting center fielder who plays excellent defense.

Brian Duensing has been up and down all season, but his last outing in Texas was solid (6.2 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 SO). Hopefully he can build on that start and put together a string of solid starts down the stretch for the Twins.


Ervin Santana

#54 / Pitcher / Los Angeles Angels

His win-loss record may not show it, but Ervin Santana has had quite a solid season. He's coming off a complete game shutout of the Cleveland Indians, but Joe Mauer (11 for 19, 1.566 OPS) will be licking his chops to get a shot at Santana tonight.
