Crain's Pain

Jesse Crain enters the game with Thomas and Chavez on base with walks. He get Payton to ground to first, but Morneau boots the ball to load the bases.

Update: Crain walks Swisher on a 3-2 pitch to force in Thomas. Thomas was intentionally walked when Reyes fell behind the Big Hurt. It's 5-2 Oakland in the bottom of the seventh.

Update: Scutaro clears the bases with a double that lands just inside the rightfield line. That makes it 8-2 and the Oakland fans smell a victory. It's Scutaro's fourth double of the the series, and he's slugging .667 in the three games.

Update: The inning ends on a strikeout. It's a very strange inning for the Twins, however, as they issue three walks. Up until this point they controlled the A's offense by taking away the free pass. But they played into Oakland's strength in that inning and now they need to scored six runs with only six outs.

Poor Morneau...that was the angriest looking home run trot I've ever seen. Can't say the (probable) outcome of this series surprises me, but I definately thought Minny would put up a better fight.
