Twins Back on Track

The Twins won 3-0 this afternoon while making an appearance on FOX's Game of the Week. I'm going to give my Three Stars quickly, and if I have time tonight, make another post.

Three Stars:
Nick Blackburn - 7.2 IP, 8 H, 0 BB, K, 102 Pitches. As good as Cliff Lee was last night, Blackburn may have been just as good tonight. From what I was able to see, he pitched very well... but he also got help behind him. More on that later.
Justin Morneau - 2 for 4, 2 RBI, HR, R. After being shut out last night, it was huge for the Twins to get on the board quickly today. They did thanks to Morneau's bat.
Twins Defense - A staple of the Twins is great team defense. It hasn't been as great as in the past, but getting 4 double plays and having Delmon Young get a runner out at the plate today is what the Twins need to get - and stay - on track.

Hopefully this continues! Series closes tomorrow afternoon.
