Welcome Matt
I'll say this, the Twins never say die. Down three runs in the top of the ninth, they load the bases against Terry Adams (on three hits), and Matt LeCroy pinch hits for Prieto and smacks a grand slam to centerfield. It was his first HR of the year and the first grand slam of his career. We'll see what the Blue Jays can do in the bottom of the ninth.
Update: Not a day for closers so far, as Nathan walks the leadoff man in the bottom of the ninth.
Update: Nathan get Catalanatto to ground into a DP. It didn't seem that hard hit to me; I'm surprised the Cat didn't get down the baseline quicker. The play was not close at first base.
Update: Johnson grounds out to end the game. Nice comeback win for the Twins.

Catalanotto was pinch-hitting with a pulled groin, so it was trouble if he didn't get a solid base hit. They had a pinch runner ready to go for him if he did reach.
