Sweep

The Twins win an extra-innings squeaker 5-4, sweeping the White Sox and extending their lead in the AL Central to 3 1/2 games. Both teams tried to give the game away; if you want to see an example, take a look at the bottom of the 7th.


White Sox seventh. Jo.Valentin walked on four pitches. Uribe singled to left, Jo.Valentin to second. Jo.Valentin was caught stealing, catcher H.Blanco to third baseman Koskie. Uribe was caught stealing, catcher H.Blanco to second baseman Rivas. Crede singled to center. Romero pitching. Rowand pinch-hitting for B.Davis. Rowand walked on four pitches, Crede to second. Borchard pinch-hitting for W.Harris. Borchard walked, Crede to third, Rowand to second. Ti.Perez bunt single to first, Crede scored, Rowand to third, Borchard to second. J.Rincon pitching. Ca.Lee struck out.
Runs: 1, Hits: 3

Let's get our first two batters on, then have them run into outs. The Twins then allow four consecutive batters to reach, resulting in a tie game. Six baserunners that inning, but only 1 run. Ineptitude on both sides of the ball.
