Three complete.

Good guys are leading 1-0.

Twins got their first run based on couple of bunts base hit, a bunt that moved up the runners, and then Morneau hit a fly out with the bases loaded to get Carlos home.

Slowey has pitched very well in the first three innings. Struck out 4 and struck out a batter in each inning. He has been sharp.

I can only stop in for a few minutes, but Slowey has been great through the first three innings. Hopefully he can work around this double.

We've not been good in games where we can move into first this season. Hopefully that changes tonight. I think theo offense is starting to get to Byrd now.

Tied game.

Slowey has to get himself on track here.

Hopefully he can do what Blackburn did last night...

Slowey is laboring a little.

He needs to throw strikes and get out of it quickly.

It seems the Twins fielders are not in sync tonight. I am seeing too many infielders and outfielders collide together, which is one reason why there was a run here.

Shoppach hit a two-run HR.

Slowey has to cut down on the home runs.

You are not going to be successful if you are giving up home runs per start. I am surprised Chicago did not hit a home run of him.

Damage is done.

A two-run blast by Shoppach put the Tribe up front, 3-1.

Twins need to pick up Slowey here.

Not a good inning for Slowey, who labored too long, and I did not think his defense helped either.

I thought Delmon had it.

That was hit good.

I am starting to wonder if this team is wound tight every time they had an opportunity to be in first place. It seems this team does too much or they just struggle. Slowey just lost his composure in the fourth inning. The fielders are having trouble communicating. The offense comes up lame. This is three times that it has happened where the Twins have an opportunity to be in first place. I don't want to see this be a trend, but if it is, it's going to be a problem. To see this unfold in the last inning was not a good sign. This shouldn't have been Indians leading let alone tie.

Two outs, but Cabrera is at third.

Slowey needs to sack up and get that one more out.

Let's go Kevin!
