Delmon Young is certainly making his case for staying in the majors. He's 3 for 4 today, making him seven for ten in three games with the Devil Rays, He picked up his second double this afternoon, and also has a homer for a 1.200 slugging percentage. The Devil Rays trail Chicago, however, as the rest of the team is five for twenty three.
Update: Dioner Navarro just tied the game at three with his fifth homer of the season, the third since joining the Devil Rays.
Update: Extra innings in Chicago, and Young will lead off the tenth.
Update: Young singles. He's 8 for 11 in his major league career.
Update: Young follows up the hit with the first stolen base of his major league career.
Update: McCarthy loads the bases with one out and an intentional walk follow by an unintentional one. Cantu gets the chance to be the hero.
Update: Cantu can do as he lines a single to left, driving in two runs. The Devil Rays take a 5-3 lead and are still threatening in the tenth.
Update: The White Sox get out of the inning with no more damage. Anderson, batting 9th,is scheduled to lead off in the bottom of the tenth.
Update: McClung gets the White Sox in order in the ninth, wisely leaving Dye on deck.
It's a good day for the Twins, as they gain on both Chicago and Detroit. They're now 1/2 game out of the wild card and five games out of first place.
