Un clon de la final de 1987
La final de la Copa del Rey Mapfre termina 2-2, igual que en 1987, y la Real gana por penaltis.

Luke Keaschall struggled in a recent game, finishing 0 for 4 with two strikeouts. After a strong rookie season, he is hitting just .211 this year, prompting a lineup change by manager Derek Shelton.
Luke Keaschall watched the graphic on the Target Field scoreboard show the ball nick the very edge of the strike zone and grimaced as he fell into a squat. That strikeout, which left the bases loaded in the third inning on Friday night, was part of a tough night at the park for Keaschall in which he finished 0 for 4.
In his next at-bat, Keaschall swung at a first-pitch changeup, grounding into a double play. His final trip to the plate saw him leave two more runners on in the seventh. A frustrating night led to a postgame session hunting for answers with team hitting coaches.
âWeâll get it back. Weâre a tick off. It can change quickly,â Keaschall said. âThatâs what I keep on thinking and itâs going to happen soon.â
Coming off of an impressive rookie season in which he slashed .302/.382/.445, the start to his sophomore campaign hasnât quite been as smooth. Keaschall entered Saturdayâs game hitting just .211 with a .541 OPS and manager Derek Shelton moved him down in the lineup for the first time this season, shifting him from third to fifth in the lineup.
Shelton had a conversation with Keaschall about the move, and said the second baseman was very receptive.
âLuke Keaschall has hit at every level. I mean I canât go back to his Little League stats, but I guarantee he raked there,â Shelton said. âItâs early in the season and itâs also the first year heâs started the year in the big leagues. A lot of guys put more emphasis on that.â
Moving him down in the lineup, Shelton said, was trying to take a little bit of pressure off Keaschall, who Shelton felt was putting âa little extra on himself.â As Keaschall tries to find some answers, he said his focus is trying to get the most out of each day.
âI think itâs just being in control of your movements and executing plans,â Keaschall said. âRight now, weâre not doing that the best. All you can do is get a little bit better each and every day.â
Third baseman Royce Lewis, on the injured list with a knee sprain, moved closer to a return on Saturday, beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul. Should all continue to go well, he should be on track to return next week when the Twins travel to New York to take on the Mets.
âI think we thought all along this would be right at the minimum amount of time, or very close to it. His progression has gone extremely well. He did all on-field activities (Friday). He hit on the field and took ground balls with the group,â Shelton said. âNow, itâs the next step. Weâre fortunate, like very few teams, because of the fact we can go right across the bridge and he can get some at-bats.â
Luke Keaschall went 0 for 4, striking out and grounding into a double play, leaving multiple runners on base.
After an impressive rookie season, Keaschall's batting average has dropped to .211 this season.
Shelton moved Keaschall from third to fifth in the lineup to address his struggles at the plate this season.
Keaschall expressed optimism, stating, 'Weâre a tick off. It can change quickly,' indicating he believes he will improve soon.

That begs the question: What will the Twins do with the roster when Lewis returns?
The Twins called up Ryan Kreidler to fill his roster spot last weekend, but Kreidler offers a level of defensive flexibility that the Twins could find valuable. He has major league experience at second base, third, shortstop, center field and left field and on Saturday, he started in center, which could potentially lead to the Twins keeping him.
If they did that, the odd man out would seemingly be outfielder James Outman, who was 0 for 18 this season entering Saturday in limited playing time. Outman has started just three games.
The Twins will send Bailey Ober to the mound on Sunday in the series finale against the Cincinnati Reds. He will be opposed by Brady Singer. ⊠Former Twin Jorge Polanco, now with the Mets, will not play in the upcoming series. Polanco was placed on the injured list with a wrist issue on Saturday.
