santana (min) vs col GM 1*: santana has looked great - by numbers at least, as has only allowed more than 1 er in his starts ONCE - and that was 2 starts ago, vs boston (a rare game i did watch the last innings in, on tv). was up against chris sale, who was very unlike himself in allowing 6 runs - and the runline was very much in doubt in late innings until sox exploded for 10 run inning in 8th to put this one outta reach.
--so then is he bound to let up a couple across the plate today?
other interesting tidbit on twins
Byron Buxton's homer in the bottom of the fourth inning tied things up for twins, but more interestingly extended the team's streak of games with a HR to 16 in a row
It made it the 16th straight game with a Twin home run, which ties a franchise
record that was set in 1979. The
major league record is 27 (by the '02 TEX rangers)
i dont have any real read on this game as yet, though will be keeping eye on it throughout for the 2nd game of double header
read on double headers, I don?t have exact math on, but by my acct, it?s a rare thing for a team to sweep a double header, so whomever wins the initial game, will be leaned on as a play against in late game
chalk up that I was against berrios in his first start up (his last/first outing) and has me already leaning min 1[SUP]st[/SUP] gm, col 2[SUP]nd[/SUP]
update: I caved, and based solely on belief twins split doubleheader, think they have better chance in 1[SUP]st[/SUP] game and will bite on 1[SUP]st[/SUP] 5 innings attempt, what with their recent pen struggles
1* Minnesota Twins -? +100 vs Colorado Rockies for 1st 5 Innings G Marquez - R Listed E Santana - R Listed
