Morning rain has come and gone at Camden Yards, and tarp has been removed. Though there could be more showers this afternoon, Twins-Orioles is expected to start on time.
With rain in the forecast, Orioles grounds crew just covered the field at Camden Yards. Crossing our fingers for the scheduled 12:05 CT start.
Byron Buxton’s RBI triple is only his fifth triple in this decade, and the first since Opening Day of last season.
Twins lineup for Game 2 Julien 2B Jeffers C Kirilloff DH Buxton CF Martin LF Castro SS Wallner RF Santana 1B Farmer 3B Woods Richardson RHP
Johan Santana’s record is safe. Joe Ryan is lifted after six innings, 96 pitches, 3 runs and a career high 12 strikeouts.
Through five innings, Joe Ryan has now struck out each hitter in the Tigers lineup at least once, and has set a new career high with 12 whiffs. 79 pitches thus far, so we’ll see how much longer he goes.
Carlos Santana is 0 for his last 21, fourth-longest hitting drought of his career, but at least his last AB, a grounder to 1B, drove in an unearned run to tie the score, 2-2 in the fifth inning in Detroit.
Through four innings, Joe Ryan is ahead of Johan Santana’s strikeout pace from his Twins-record 17-K game in 2007. Ryan has struck out 10 Tigers, one away from his career high. Santana had 9 vs Rangers in first four innings.
Twins not ready to say Carlos Correa will go on injured list, but it doesn’t look good, Rocco Baldelli said.
Right oblique strain is the reason Carlos Correa left tonight’s game.
One note about tonight’s Twins-Tigers game: It’s not raining anymore, but it’s extremely windy, steady around 25 mph, gusts close to 50. Current temp is 48, but wind chill will be in the 30s.
Rain has finally passed in Detroit. Tigers announce tonight’s first pitch will be at 6:45 Central.
Twins expect to play tonight, but won’t start on time at the scheduled 5:40 pm Central start.
Nelson Cruz once told me guys hate having their batting average on the scoreboard in April, and you can see why. Still, here’s the lineup for today’s Target Field opener.
Bailey Ober is removed after allowing 8 runs and 9 hits while recording only 4 outs. It's only the second time in his pro career that Ober has failed to pitch at least 3 innings. In his Class A debut for Cedar Rapids on April 26, 2018, he allowed 6 runs to Burlington, got 2 outs.
With Miguel Cabrera retired, Salvador Perez is the active leader in HRs vs. the Twins. And he just added to his total, giving KC a 3-0 lead. 33 -- Salvador Perez 31 -- Carlos Santana 28 -- José Abreu 21 -- Mike Moustakas 21 -- José Ramirez 17 -- Yan Gomes 17 -- Francisco Lindor
At @kFarm17 ‘s request, I’m posting this photo of the AL’s best base stealers. “I’ll take that into free agency,” he told me.
Bad news for #MnTwins as Royce Lewis is out at least a month and Anthony DeSclafani is lost for the season. startribune.com/twins-royce-le…
Royce Lewis underwent an MRI during the game, and will meet with doctors tomorrow to determine what's next. Said it feels like a cramp that won't go away. Max Kepler had an x-ray on his knee, but it's only a bruise.

Honored to be asked to provide a couple quotes for this piece by @MillerStrib about Tony Oliva’s Hall of Fame journey. startribune.com/one-vote-short…
Found it. @MillerStrib piece m.startribune.com/the-terrifying…
Someone help me. A dude at the Strib or Pioneer Press did a piece on this very subject earlier this year. It was a great piece. Hell. It might have been an Athletic thing. Anyone know what I’m talking about.
Cool story by @MillerStrib: #NFTs emerging as hot new items in #sports #collectibles strib.mn/37BCBhJ
@MillerStrib Last tripleheader in MLB - October 2, 1920. Cincinnati won 2 of the 3 games played at Pittsburgh. Two 9 inning games and a 6 inning one, called because of darkness. Total time for all 3 games, 24 innings: 5 hours
@MillerStrib This is mostly Travis Lee's fault.
@MillerStrib I can totally hear Vin Scully sharing this fact in his singular tone and cadence as a master storyteller.
@MillerStrib Maybe the gardenhire is honoring his time as 3rd base coach
@MillerStrib For what it’s worth, our Wichita team is the Wind Surge. And no, we don’t really know what a wind surge is, either.
.@EddieRosario09 batted 4th and played 2nd for the @BeloitSnappers at my very first #MiLB game. Hard to believe that was nine seasons ago. Good luck, Eddie. #MNTwins
I remember watching 20-year-old second baseman Eddie Rosario in Beloit in 2012, matching tape-measure BP homers with twice-his-size teammates Miguel Sano and Kennys Vargas. Twins' clubhouse will be less fun without him.
@MillerStrib @LaVelleNeal I toured the new ballpark here in Wichita back in July. It is an EXCELLENT and beautiful facility.
Good job from @MillerStrib Other than swapping Trout and Bieber, his top 8 picks are in the same order as the final MVP totals. His last two picks (Buxton, Keuchel) were selected by no one else. If I had a vote, I'd definitely save the last spot or two for a wild card pick.
@MillerStrib @betsyhelfand @LaVelleNeal You sure she has enough twin cities electoral votes Phil???!!! 😜
@MillerStrib “Nice, if a bit nondescript” is pretty much the story of the Texas Rangers franchise, too.
That would be a great @netflix series
Pirates have claimed RHP Sean Poppen, who was designated for assignment by Twins on Monday to make room for Alex Kirilloff. The Pittsburgh Pirates, I mean, not actual pirates.
@MillerStrib Watching anything next to a cat is my nightmare.
