The Twins suddenly can’t score more than three runs. The Twins won 3-2 on Aug. 30, followed by losses of 3-1, 3-0 and 5-3 to the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.
On the mound for the Twins, Randy Dobnak, who made his first appearance in two months because of a finger strain, according to MLB.com. Finger strain or not, the Dobber is not the answer for the Twins, and he showed why Friday, allowing five runs, all earned, on six hits over seven innings. He fell to 1-7 on the season with a 7.64 ERA. Why is he still with the team?
Andrew Albers gets the ball Saturday.
Extra innings…
-We wrapped up our last day in Payette, Idaho with another round of golf, another visit to Riverside Cemetery and a trip down Highway 52 to see a memorial created in honor of a plane and its crew that crashed in the area in 1958. In October of that year, a C-123 cargo plane, occupied by a support group for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, crashed and killed 19 servicemen.
