twins pitching note....

[IE]

kinney will go on 3 days rest sunday....

Gardenhire decided to go with Matt Kinney in Sunday's series finale against the Angels. He originally wanted to start Tony Fiore because Kinney threw 57 pitches in relief Wednesday but was talked out of it by pitching coach Rick Anderson.

Good stuff, IE. The Twins bullpen really needs a break after throwing 16 innings on Wed and Thurs, and then Milton got knocked out pretty early Friday. Glaus, Salmon and Erstadt & Co.have to be salivating at the idea of facing a stiff like Kinney on 3 days rest and a tired bullpen.
