Twins @ W-Sox (08/16/05)

[Lynch]

Twins won the first game in the series last night 4-2. TOnight on the mound we have Radke (7-10 3.71 ERA) vs Garcia (11-5 3.64 ERA) with a 7:05 starting time.

If Radke can pitch to potential, this should be a good matchup. If he gives up the obligatory 1st or 2nd inning home run, it could be a long night.


Go Twins!

[Lynch]

Wow, Cuddyer hit a solo shot in the top of the 9th to tie up the game 4-4. Going to extra innings now.

[Lynch]

well, we're now in the 16th inning, game still tied up 4-4.


Up to this point, the Twins have 16 hits and the Sox have 12.


Twins have used 5 pitchers so far and the Sox have used 8.

[Lynch]

Sox finally choked (and hard) in the 16th inning as the Twins picked up
5 hits in the 16th inning and scored 5 runs. Final Score? 9-4 Twins.
Long night for our MN Pinstripes





Tomorrow the Twins take the field again in chicago and go for the sweep with Santana facing off vs Buehrle.

I fell asleep in the 13th inning! Too much partying I guess. But always happy to hear about a Twins win - especially against the White Sox.

Big HR for Cuddyer in the 9th. How about the performance by Matt G - pitching 4 scoreless innings.

Great Twins win - let's keep it going!

2 big wins vs the soxs. With Santana pitching tonight we have a great chance at a much needed sweep.

Looks like we are getting on a roll. a win streak.
