Sorry Twink, I know you got a winning streak going, but the game has started.
Revere lead off the game with a base hit, now a 19 game hitting streak and he has also stole second.
Lineups quickly...
Twins:
1. Revere CF2. Masty RF3. Mauer C4. Willingham LF5. Morneau 1B6. Doumit DH7. Dozier SS8. Casilla 2B9. Carroll 3B
RHP: Nick Blackburn
Red Sox:
1. Ellsbury CF2. Crawford LF3. Pedoria 2B4. A-Gon 1B5. Ross DH6. Salty C7. Middlebrooks 3B8. Kalish RF9. Aviles SS
LHP: Franklin Morales
A little surprise, but then again would he really fit into the picture in the future?
I don't think it looked like it...
From an ESPN Boston Blog:
"Pineda, an athletic 21-year-old center fielder out of the Dominican Republic, is leading the Rookie-Level Gulf Coast League in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, hits, and total bases. "
Interesting...let's hope you're right.
Twins score one run so far in the 5th without a hit. Casilla lead off walk, steals second, moves over on the Carroll groundout, then Revere hits a sac fly. 2-1 Sox.
Great Manship is in.
What an amazing play there by Casilla! He showed some serious range there!
