Twins Win a Close One

It got a little tense, but we were all able to let out a sigh of relief when Manny Ramirez grounded out to Adam Everett to end the game.

Just a quick report, it's getting late.

Three Stars: (You gotta love when your 6-9 batter knock in 8 runs!)
Craig Monroe - 2 for 4, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R. The DH job appears open after Kubel has been a let down. Games like this help Monroe's chances.
Adam Everett - 1 for 4, HR, 2 RBI, R. He showed some unexpected power, but also played great defensively. I will lay off my "Cut Adam Everett" campaign for the time-being.
Justin Morneau - 3 for 3, 2 R, BB. The guys in front of him weren't getting on, so instead of Morneau going up trying to knock runners in, he was trying to get on base. And that's what he did - OBP of 100%.

The Twins will end their Red Sox series tomorrow. Three of four would be great.
