The Minnesota Twins were nearly no-hit by the Gavin Floyd and the Chicago White Sox but Joe Mauer came to the rescue for the Twins in the ninth inning. Mauer doubled to deep left center field to break up the no hitter in the bottom of the ninth inning with one out.
The Twins did get one run earlier in the game when Jason Kubel hit a sacrafice fly to to center that scored Mauer.
Nick Blackburn pitched six inning and allowed six hits and four runs. Three of the four runs were earned. Jesse Crain pitched one inning and allowed two runs. Bobby Korecky pitched one inning and also gave up a earned run.
It was just a bad pitching and hitting performance by the entire Twins lineup. They can pretty much only do better tomorrow against the White Sox.
