That’s why his elbow tenderness was so alarming. This team needs him to stay healthy and effective to have any chance of competing down the stretch.

When was the last time a Twins pitcher pitched this far into the year with that kind of ERA? It would have been Santana, right? Remember when Liriano finished that 2006 campaign with an ERA just a bit lower than that? Yet Scooty has done it so quietly, it’s gone nearly unnoticed.

Gotta love the stealth weapon.

Pitching was solid for 9 innings. Damn good defense by the Home Team and zero errors. Timely hitting put some runs on the board but they really should have won this game 8-1 or 9-1 or even 10-1. Twins shoulda knocked all the spare change out of Penny’s pocket. A much needed win.
