Well after losing 5 out of 6 last week, the Twins beat Cleveland yesterday and again today to end the week nicely. The Twins held the Indians to a total of 1 run between yesterday and today. Nick Blackburn was a stud yesterday shutting out the Tribe 3-0 and earning his first MLB win. Today, Scott Baker pitched 7 strong innings, striking out eight but earned a no decision as the game went extras. Justin Morneau singled home the winning run in the 10th to take the series 2 out of 3.

The Twins are off tomorrow but head out to Oakland for a three game series and then to Texas closing out next weekend. The Twins are 2.5 games behind the White Sox for first place in the Central. The bats are completely dead right now as they have averaged 2 runs in their past 4 games. They may be lucky to have a 3-3 road trip. We shall see.
