Twins 2, Royals 1
The cold and rain wasn't going to keep us away from our free David DeJesus t-shirts. After a 40 minute rain delay, things finally got underway. Scott Elarton pitched well, pitching 7 scoreless innings. He got out of a jam in the seventh when he was obviously tiring.
Bell made a questionable move by bringing in Luke Hudson to pitch in the eighth while clining to a 1-0 lead. Hudson gave up 3 straight hits, giving up a run. Bell then summoned Andy Sisco who allowed one of Hudson's runners to score, giving up the lead.
The biggest story of this game was the missed opportunities. The Royals left 14 on base and had the bases loaded twice but could only muster one run. Kyle Lohse wasn't pitching well, but the Royals couldn't put up together enough hits to get those runs in. Elarton, once again, was the victim of poor run support. He got a no decision even though he pitched a great game.
