Metrodome Memories

The Twins were primed for the sweep earlier today. However, they did struggle early against Tribe starter Cliff Lee, but put together one of their patented rallies to pull off a 4-3 victory.

Lee stymied the Twins’ hitters for most of the game, but the Twins prevailed in the 7th. A walk and three straight hits scored a run and loaded the bases. Denard Span drew a walk to bring in the tying run, then a Carlos Gomez groundout put the Twins ahead.

Starter Glen Perkins was somewhat uneven, but kept his team in the game. After allowing a run, he threw 3 scoreless frames before giving up a 2 run homer to Johnny Peralta in the 6th, lasting 7 innings.

Not only have the Twins been winning, but they’ve been able to come from behind a number of times. Even when the chips are down, the team battles back to get the victory. With today’s win, the Twins are now 19-4 since their 6 game losing streak in early June.
