Finally Long

Joe Mauer goes deep in the seventh inning off Andy Pettitte to tie the game at five. That was Mauer's first home run of the season, have gone 184 at bats without a long ball. His teammate, Delmon Young leads the majors with no home runs in 215 at bats. Jason Barlett is second with 185 at bats.

Update: The Twins take a 6-5 lead in the 8th and win the game by that score. Farnsworth gives up three hits and the opposition is now hitting .316 against him on the season.

He (Farnsworth) gave up three hits, yeah. And two of them were doubles. And he gave up a walk, too. It's incredible that the Twins got only one run. Farnsworth gets credit for a full inning, but the truth is he only really got one guy out (on a three-pitch swinging strike-out). The other two outs were a CS and a Nick Punto sacrifice.
It's very strange that Farnsworth is still considered the eighth-inning-guy. I really can't understand it. He's terrible.
