The Duensenator Shuts Down the A's

I'm a bit tardy with my write up from the last game I attended. All my followers are probably on pins and needles. All one of them.

Well let me not delay the news any longer. The Twins won beating the Oakland A's in a shut-out thrown by our former relief pitcher Duensing. I've now christened him The Duensenator.

The game was a pitching duel with the Twins scoring only two runs. Sometimes a pitching duel is very exciting. This one though was a little boring. I think it was because there weren't a lot of strike outs and the A's just never threatened. Fast game too. Just over two hours.

We did get a special season ticket holder treat. Bobbleheads! Kent Hrbek and Kirby Pucket. Since I had to walk almost half way around the stadium to get them, I just did the whole circuit. Kind of fun to see the game from different angles. I'd like to get some seats in the outfield and see how that looks. Maybe I'd get a foul ball.

Duensing's win put us two up on the Sox. We ended up sweeping the A's with a win the next day and the Sox lost so now we are three up.

Coming up, a home stand with Chicago. Big series. I'll be in my usual place. Go Twins!
