So Swarzak gets a start.. I admit that makes me a little nervous. But there are only two games left of the season so we’ll let it go.
Mauer is going to have to do a lot better tonight if he wants to keep any chance in the batting race. But tonight’s lineup is changing things up a little over last night. We’ll see what happens!

Once again, not much to say about this game. Span and Carson had a couple hits a piece. Anthony Swarzak wasn’t terrible in a spot start and the bullpen did a good job (outside of Tyler Robertson dropping a ball while covering 1B). But the Twins lost… again. – JC
