Called on in a stressful eighth inning, the reliever excelled as the Twins ended a skid.

Rabble, rabble. Twins win? Meh. Nothing much to rabble about tonight I guess.

Lets stay positive here... you know its good when the team breaks a losing streak with a nice win. Hughes HR was a pop fly that went out, we will take it. We got good pitching a few timely hits and we won. That's all good. We need to catch the dirtysox and keep going up the ladder. Win more Twins.

I think Luke used the Force. But I'll take the win, for sure.

The bullpen was great. Hope they stay consistent!

The golden child got an RBI, He must be kicking it into gear now. Wait was that his only hit. Also looks like Japans team owner got the better end of this deal.

1st time in awhile I've heard Dick make the call and have it happen in quite a long time. Nice shot Luke Hughes!

Not bad for a sub .500 team that is 9 games back going into the 4th of July weekend. If they keep playing like this they may get another golden opportunity to lose to the Yankees again in the first round of the playoffs and shoot for the T-wolves record of losing 7 straight first round playoff series.

Another game not shown on Cable One. Thanks, Cable One, for being such a money-grubbing Scrooge when it comes to the nearly 40 games the Twinks front office decided to label "premium." Oh, and thank you, Twinks front office, for removing any games that used to be on free television. How much greed is enough for you, Cable One? How much greed is enough for you, Twinks front office? Next year, will the games be broadcast on a pay-per-inning format?

Valencia has a lot of learning to do when it comes to hitting a baseball, but if they keep throwing lefties at him life in the remedial class might be tolerable.
