Big strikeout.

Riley strikes out swinging with the bases loaded. Guess we can’t have storybook stuff happening all the time. Otherwise it wouldn’t be storybook stuff, eh?

[IdahoBert]

Three more innings for what feels like a leaky bullpen to have to stay afloat and not sink. 

[chasfh]

I have not felt very comfortable with Tyler Holton coming into games lately.

[IdahoBert]

Twins beat the Guardians in the first game and Cleveland used three pitchers.

Yeah - AJ keeping everyone but Hurter's outings short so he doesn't burn anyone for tomorrow, but that's also always more chances for a misfire.

[IdahoBert]

We really really need a double play

I would characterize it as really really really, but I think we're in the ballpark together on this.

D.o.n.o.t..l.e.t..d.o.w.n

ESCAPE!

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

whew, Holton got it done.

[chasfh]

Man, I feel like we got away with one.

Or, as Jason Benetti said, "Tyler Holton works some magic" ... after giving up a single to a LHH and throwing a wild pitch to advance runners to second and third.

Come on, fanduel or 97.1 The Ticket or whoever is responsible: fix the audio/video discrepancy for the radio overlay already.

[chasfh]

Coming back from the break, Benetti trying to put lipstick on the pig that is the shared post-game show FD is trying to save six dollars on.

Come on, 97.1 The Ticket, hurry up!

[Tigeraholic1]

If we get out of here with two wins I will feel like we stole the Hope diamond.

[gehringer_2]

Holton's FB is down about 1 mph and his change is up about 1 mph. So that's some loss of deltaV that doesn't help.

I swear it was fixed for the leadoff batter (Sweeney?) a couple innings ago but then broke again between his AB and the next batter. so I've had to do the manual sync with the audio stream on my laptop.

[gehringer_2]

Let's hope Torkelson can't find another way to be out on the bases here...

EDIT: I'm hoping against hope there is no contact play out here....

[Sports_Freak]

Well, there's my cardio for today. And we still have 6 outs to go...

[chasfh]

Tork manages to make it to third base without getting thrown out.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

come on, dummies, gotta score here.

This pitching chaos seems to work. At least, for 7 innings. Don't ask me how, it's a mystery.

[romad1]

4-1...nice. Sweeney gets it done.

[IdahoBert]

4-1

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Sweeney sac fly, Tork makes it home.
