The Twins pull out a 2-1 victory over the Nationals tonight in a game that only took 1 hour and 59 minutes. There really wasn't much action, so I'm not going to say much.
Three Stars:
Livan Hernandez - 7 IP, 5 H, ER, K, 77 pitches. Livan's performance was the big news tonight. Obviously, the coaching staff doesn't have a ton of confidence in him, because he was pulled after only 77 pitches. Luckily, the bullpen was able to keep this one under control, so Livan takes the win.
Justin Morneau - 1 for 4, HR, 2 RBI, R. Morneau accounted for all the runs batted in tonight for the Twins... and the home run was a blast.
Joe Mauer - 2 for 3, BB, R. Mauer assumed his table-setter role once again. In a night full of not much, this was the only other player that stood out.
In minor league news:
There have been a lot of transactions in the past week. You can go to either Taylor's Twins Talk or LaVelle's blog on my sidebar and view the transactions. The other news is one of the Twins roookie-league teams, the Elizabethton Twins, started off their short-season tonight with a convincing 12-6 victory. (Last year's 2nd round pick, Danny Rams, started his season with 6 RBI.)
