TWINS SPRING TRAINING WIN

Sunday, March 11 - TWINS 8, BLUE JAYS 5 - Dunedin, Florida

The Twins looked strong at the plate on Sunday. The Minnesota Twins recorded four consecutive singles to open a three-run fifth inning against Toronto closer B.J. Ryan. Glenn Williams, Luis Rodriguez and Alexi Casilla each drove in runs in the frame. All three players are competing for solid starting rolls in 2007. Williams and Rodriguez also chipped in RBI singles in the seventh.

On the mound, Twins left handed pitcher Glen Perkins threw 47 pitches, 30 for strikes, and allowed one unearned run in his first start of Spring Training. The left-hander gave up two hits and struck out two in three innings. Matt Guerrier gave up one run on two hits and struck out two in two innings of relief.

The Twins have a 4-8-1 record in the Grapefruit League so far. The Twins host the Marlins today at noon at Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida. Right hander, Boof Bonser gets the start. I hope Boof can have a strong outing and prove he can be counted on in 2007.

Have I mentioned that:



Let’s go Twins!!! April 2nd, 2007 is almost here!!!
