Twins win a Wild one

The Minnesota Twins won a wild game tonight. Leading 2 -0 on a Michael Cuddyer Home run. Tampa was not getting anything done at the plate at all, Until the 8th inning Juan Rincon had a rough outing, giving up 2 runs 4 base runners in only 5 batters, and the one that got out, was just a horrible bunting exhibition. Pat Neshek came on to strike out the next two batters and get out of the inning with a 2-2 game.

The Twins went down 1,2,3 in the 8th. Tampa bay did not. With Joe Nathan pitching, TB got a single, then Crawford hitting took a pitch and put it past Michael Cuddyer and it was off to the races. I figured for sure that the lead runner would score but they held him up on third. I am guessing that Crawford thought he would score for sure too as he ran right to third and the twins had a run down. Joe Mauer tagged out the runner just before he went back to third, and for some really strange reason, Crawford ran back to second base (WHAT!!) and Joe through him out just before he reached 2nd.

Bottom of the 9th and Justin Morneau hits a homer just out of reach of Crawford! Poetic justice?
