On a warmer day than the two previous, the Twins managed five hits, but only one run against Chicago starter Mark Buehrle. Blackburn allowed 4 runs in 6 innings (including one to Jim Thome that looked eerily similar to the one in game 163 of last season) to take the loss. The good news here as our Twins lost the rubber game on the Southside, was that Delmon Young got his first dinger of the year. While he continues to swing at the first pitch in every blessed at bat (seeing fewer pitches than an ugly chick) he has sown over and over that if someone on a coaching staff somewhere can really get to him, he can be a tremendous talent. My prediction; it won't be soon, and it won't be in Minnesota.
