The Minnesota Twins smoked the Washington Nationals 11-2 on Wednesday evening. It was the second straight win for the Twins over the Nationals and they will be going for the three game sweep on Thursday afternoon.
Justin Morneau went 2-4 with three rbi to lead the Twins at the plate. Delmon Young and Brian Buscher both had two rbi in the game as well for the Twins. Carlos Gomez, Jason Kubel, and Brendan Harris finished the game with one rbi each.
Kevin Slowey threw six innings to pick up the victory and is now 4-6 on the season. Slowey gave up seven hits but only one run scored. He never allowed the Nationals to get a big rally going and that is why he stayed in the game even though he have up seven hits.
Jesse Crain tossed the seventh inning without allowing a run and then Brian Bass threw a scoreless eighth inning. In the ninth inning, Boof Bonser allowed one run to score. That run came across the plate on an error by Harris at shortstop.
So now will the Twins get the sweep on Thursday? I sure like their chances!
