Twins win two of three over Brewers, fans show support

The Minnesota Twins continue to amaze me. The Twins Milwaukee Brewers series was a real gem and I have a few miscellaneous facts that I want to share with my loyal Minnesota Twins blog readers (even though it’s a little late.) I will compile facts on the Twins Detroit Tigers series next week (better late than never, right?) Here are the facts that I just can't keep to myself:

--> Joe Mauer hit his third home run of the season on June 27th vs. Milwaukee Brewers. All three homers were in the month of June...does that still make him an All-Star? You betcha!

--> The Twins lost to the Milwaukee Brewers on June 28th in front of 38,963 fans. It was their largest attendance since opening day, March 31 vs. Los Angeles when the Twins (and Torii Hunter) drew 49,596 fans. Perhaps the pressure of all those prying eyes was just too much. Livan Hernandez walked four batters, a season-high.

--> Kevin Slowey pitched his second complete game of the season on June 30th, tossing the first shutout of his career. Woohoo!


--> The Twins were only 278 fans short of drawing 100,000 fans into the Metrodome for the Twins Brewers three game series. Those 278 people were out on their boats enjoying the beautiful weather. They said they would have come out if the game would have been played outside.

--> The Twins finished off Interleague Play with a record of 14-4. Way to go boys in blue!
