He lasted all of two batters before leaving with an undisclosed injury. It would be an unexpected bullpen game featuring the worst pen in baseball. My thoughts at the exact moment: how many innings will Kody Clemens need to cover today?

Fortunately, Twins’ bats were not as depressed as the fan base early on, with a Trevor Larnach single and Austin Martin BB paid off by a Victor Caratini RBI knock to put an early run on the board. 1-0 MN. In the third inning, an in-game interview with Twins manager Derek Shelton revealed it was “right elbow soreness” that regelated Ryan to the bench. Wonderful. That same frame, the Twins loaded the bases (Martin single, double, Clemens BB) with two outs, only to see not enjoy salami—or even a lesser-quality meat—after striking out against Blue Jays SP . Remarkably, the first RP out of the pen for MN—Andrew Morris—tossed 3.2 innings of 2 H, 0 ER ball to keep the contest at the razor-thin 1-0 margin. MIN finally changed the number in B5 when a Caratini BB was followed by doubles from Keaschall, heretofore-not-needed-on-the-mound Clemens, & . 4-0 MN! Toronto got on the board in T6 when tried to complete a second consecutive scoreless inning but could not. A drag-bunt single allowed to scamper home, but Rogers avoided any further damage by coaxing a “home run in an elevator shaft” fly out from . 4-1 MN. A ticklish situation—two Jays on the pond—was mitigated in T8 by inducing a ground-out. entered in T9 to try and close this one out—which of course meant clenched cheeks (and not the chewing kind). *Another* HR closed the margin to a single run, and an error from Keaschall allowed the tying and go-ahead runs to reside on the base paths. Blessedly, a grounder went successfully from 2B to 1B for a game-ending double play! **Your Final: Minnesota Twins 4, Toronto Blue Jays 3** Seeing their best pitcher exit with injury after recording just one out, the Twins turned to a league-worst bullpen and somehow escaped with the victory. #baseball.
