Boof Comes Through

The Twins needed some big help in the pitching department today against the first place Tigers. They got that help from a somewhat unexpected source-- Boof Bonser. Boof had come through in his last outing, but that was against hapless Tampa Bay. This time he proved he could pitch against the big guys. 6 innings, 5 hits, and 1 run given up. Not bad! So now the Twinkies trail by only 3 games in the division. Unfortunately, the White Sox won too, so they are only a 1/2 game behind. Tomorrow it's Santana to the mound. He's been only the best September pitcher in the majors for the last 3 years. Sounds promising.
