Day baseball is the best kind of baseball. So I feel good about that.
Last night Samuel Deduno pitched 7 innings of no-hit baseball with ZERO walks and 9 strikeouts. So I feel good about that.
Trevor Plouffe and Josh Willingham both hit home runs last night and Joe Mauer hit a triple. So I feel good about that.
Jeff Gray was demoted to AAA Rochester and Chris Parmelee was called up and is starting in right field today. So I feel good about that.
Brian Duensing is pitching today. So I do not feel good about that.

Well that was pretty disappointing. The Twins had just six hits, one of them a two-run bomb from Josh Willingham (his 33rd of the season), but a disastrous 6th inning from Brian Duensing and Casey Fien led to four runs and that was enough for the Mariners to secure the win.
Try again tomorrow in Kansas City.

What? No mention of Willingham dropping that ball in left and allowing those runs to score?
Have to be honest, missed the middle of the game while I attended a meeting. Didn’t read the box score that close when I wrote up the post game, the home run was more evident than the error.
