Sorry guys! Since it’s Tuesday, I’m not actually here but I popped in and saw we didn’t have a chat yet so here you go!
Mauer was a late scratch because he experienced some dizziness during BP today after taking a couple foul tips to the head recently. We’ll see how long he’s out.

It’s not often the Twins get outhit, but win because they had better pitching.
It’s even less often that they accomplish that against the Tigers. Mike Pelfrey had a good start and the bullpen, while not perfect, was good enough.
Justin Morneau had a big night and he’s our consensus BOD! – JC
