Twin Sweep: Peter

Well, once again, our heroes seem to be coming around. They took a pair from the Twins (Who else, Jenn, but the Twins would you take a pair from?). This makes it three in a row, and, adding in the three consecutive losses by Mr. Hankie's Yankees, and the Jays' loss tonight, we're closing in on 2d and 3d in the AL East. Tampa is another story altogether, but, again, we've still 3/4 of a season to go. Papi got another HR last night, his 7th in May, after only one in April, and that's playing part time. His average has also climbed almost to .250, so, barring a reversal, he's well on his way to coming around. Bucky got the W last night, going eight plus innings and allowing just a pair of runs to run his record for 2010 to 5-3. Yoouukk continues to hit, but more about that in tonight's game below.

I'll tell ya' Jenn, the iPhone is great to catch up on the score. I had a SF Chamber of Commerce meeting at, believe it or don't, ATT Park, home of the Giants, and was catching Sox scores on the phone. So, tonight they take the Twinkies again, this time in a complete game by Lester, now 4-2, his 4th straight win and the best pitching winning percentage in MLB history of anyone with at least 100 starts, at .719!He gave up the runs, only one earned in the last two innings, and K'd nine Twins. About Yooouuuk, he got another HR and a run scoring two bagger, while Beltre also got a HR and ribbie double. Martinez, once again is getting my hopes up that he's found the stroke as he had three two baggers in four at bats. Let's hope he continues to climb now, not slide back as he did recently.

Other good news: I see where the two missing Sox starting OF's are doing rehab assignments: Jake at Pawtucket and Cameron with the Sea Dogs. Jake went 3-4 with a double and steal today, and it looks as if he'll be back in the Fens by next week. Cameron is only slightly behind, but also had a good rehab start. Get to see the Sox next month in SF as the interleague crap brings them to ATT to play Los Gigantes. They follow that, I believe, with a Bay Area return a few weeks later to play the A's. I guess you're getting them vs the Halos about the same time.
