The Twins closed out the series with a convincing 5-1 victory over the Royals. It was a quick game (2:27) that I didn't get to see a whole lot of.
Three Stars:
Kevin Slowey - CG, 6 H, 1 ER, 6 K. With every game the pitching staff looks better. Tonight was no exception. Slowey was 1 out away from pitching his first major-league shutout. With Slowey's performance tonight and Blackburn's performance on Friday, along with Perkins's recent play, Hernandez making big money, and Baker's impending return, where and when does that leave room for the return of Francisco Liriano?
Carlos Gomez - 4 for 5, 2B, R, 2 RBI. Gomez has brought his average up to .293. Not bad for a guy that is supposed to be pretty raw.
Alexi Casilla - 3 for 4, BB, 2B. In Casilla's small sample, he's up to .326. Not bad for a guy that had no stick in AAA. I'm also pulling for Casilla to continue this strong run, because that should (hopefully) keep Punto's return light in playing time and at-bats.
Big series opens tomorrow against the Yanks.
