The way this game feels so far.

That was a pretty sick recovery.

 

He meant to do that.

So 5 up 5 down for Gonzalez on 14 pitches - he just got Howard and Brown on 6 - but here's a RH so we want Axford. It's like Montgomery Burns hitting Homer Simpson for Darryl Strawberry. "It's called playing the percentages. It's how smart managers win games."

[DocLuna7]

Have a game Luc. Geez.

[The stache]

Looks like Lucroy might be breaking out of his season long slumber. He'd been 9 for 28 the last 8 games (.321), and now he's 14 for 33 in the last 9.

 

Keep it up, Jonathan!

[pebadger]

3 outs from firing up Kool & The Gang . . . .

[H4P]

Every time I hear K Rod is in the game, I can't believe it's real.

[pebadger]

After facing the Brewers for over half a week, the Twins have had no chance tonight against a guy like Iwakuma. No runs, 4 hits through 7 innings.

That is how I felt about Yuni at the beginning of the season...

[cnycerveceros]

It's a miracle!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

A win? Can it be so?

 

Nice offensive output and a good job by the bullpen. If Lucroy is breaking out, then having 6 productive hitters in the lineup should bring more runs...and wins.

[sdcheezhd]

Great job by the bullpen. 10 up 10 down 5 Ks.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

at least the brewers ended the month with a win. goodbye may hello june

[SterlingArcher]

If we can rattle off another 9 game winning streak we will be... 5 games under .500.

 

Oy.

yikes.....

well let's all enjoy this win. those things seem to be a rarity for the brewers as of late.

[markedman5]

Pen was indeed great tonight.....Gonzalez is really throwing the ball well as is KROD.

 

 

Good start for Helwig tonight in AAA. 7 strong...1 run 5 ks 2 walks....101 pitches....sat at 96-98 in the 7th. 11 ground outs

[The stache]

Hellweg's control has been absolutely horrible thus far. Entering the night he had like 38 K's and 37 walks. Tonight though, he struck out 7 and only walked 2. It's only one start, but if he can continue doing that, then he could have a future. He's got the raw stuff.

 

Get that WHIP down, John, and we'll talk. Good start, now do it again.

Minor correction -- Hellweg struck out 5 batters tonight. But his ERA over his last five starts has been 2.79 (1.50 if you toss out a 5 IP/5 ER performance). He's been very tough on hitters lately, & I think it's time he got a shot in the bigs.

So is Peralta pitching to stay on the team on Saturday?

If he was, he might stay.
