A big first,a big Labor day win

The Twins have not won in Toronto since April 2006,they we're due for a win and on this Labor day the did that.

The Twins only scored one run in Clevland Sunday and today they got five in the first inning.

Denard Span led off the inning with a walk,Nick Punto doubled and Joe M.V.P Mauer drove in the   first two runs on a single.Justin Morneau broke his 0-19 hitting slump,driving in Mauer for the third run of the game

Jeff Manship got his second start as a Twin,Manship did okay giving up three runs over 4 1/3 innings,his big proplem was that he threw alot of pitches.over 100 in his four innings of work.

As I mentioned before it was the Twins first win in Tornto since  April 2006,Brad Radke was the winning pitcher,awww Mr Radke,miss him.

Also  the Jays Aaron Hill left the game becuase his wife went into Labor best luck to them

I have to be honest with you.
If I could have anyone in your outfield right now, it would be Tampa-born Denard Span.
I like his hustle and his speed on the base paths. You could say he would be my replacement for Carl Crawford if we give him away this off-season.
Glad to see the Twins putting some wins together before they leave the big baggie up there in Minn.
