Metrodome Memories

The Twins finally beat the Tigers, snapping an eleven game losing streak in Scott Bakers return.  The Twins are still in fourth and probably have a tough fight ahead of them but it doesn’t help when you drop all of these games against one of the top teams in the division.  Still, the Twins are near the top of baseball in attendance so someone must be buying Twins tickets.

It was Baker to the rescue though.  After missing a couple of weeks, Baker came back, won his eighth game and pitched five shutout innings.  He struck out five in those five frames and he gave up just three hits.  Joe Nathan pitched a shutout ninth and he picked up his seventh save of the season.

Delmon Young drove in a pair of runs.  Danny Valencia scored two runs and he hit a solo home run.

The Twins try to even up their series with the Tigers tomorrow.  It’ll be Rick Porcello against Francisco Liriano.
