The Twins starter, now a perfect 3-0, could be the newest discovery in the rotation after he shut down the Red Sox.

Fire them all. Terribly managed game. Wait.... what.

A rare combo of good defense, good pitching and power hitting. I'd be happy to see them try it again some time.

Nice outing Samuel! What a pleasant surprise.

The thing I like about Deduno is his poise. He's 29 so a little older for a guy who doesn't have alot of major league experience (only 29 ML innings after tonight) but he sure seems like not much gets to him. Hopefully he can keep going the rest of the season. The true test will be, however, next year when teams have seen him work.

When Ron Gardenhire plays oh wait!

Diamond and Deduno; sounds like a combo to build on.
