News and Notes

Miguel Sano headed for rehab in Rochester.
Joe Mauer exited Friday’s game with a tight neck.

Milwaukee Brewers 8, Minnesota Twins 3

The first game of the border battle did not go well for starter Kyle Gibson. Gibson did some damage control and stretched the start to 5.1 innings, but it was over after three innings in all reality. Max Kepler kept his bat going against left-handed pitching as he went 2-for-2 with a double, home run and a walk and drove in all three Twins runs. Eduardo Escobar also went 3-for-4 with a run scored.

May 19th Probable Starter: Freddy Peralta vs. Fernando Romero at 6:10 PM CT

Syracuse Chiefs 0, Rochester Red Wings 2

As the Twins starting rotation is likely to experience a logjam soon, Stephen Gonsalves is continuing to put together the type of performance that might warrant a #FreeStephenGonsalves campaign soon. In his third Triple-A win, Gonsalves went 5.1 innings and allowed no runs on four hits and four hits and struck out 11 batters. Ryan LaMarre continues to hit well as he went 3-for-4 with a double. Willians Astudillo hit his third home run as he went 1-for-3.

May 19th Probable Starter: Myles Jaye vs. Pawtucket Red Sox 6:05 PM CT

Chattanooga Lookouts 3, Biloxi Shuckers 2

The Lookouts continue to make cheering for them a good position to be in. Kohl Stewart had a good start as he pitched 5.0 innings and allowed no runs, two hits, four walks, with one strikeout. Nick Gordon hit his fourth home run of the season. Chris Paul was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

May 19th Probable Starter: Omar Bencomo vs. Biloxi Shuckers at 6:35 AM CT

St. Lucie Mets 2, Fort Myers Miracle 1

The Miracle bats were held very quiet during their Friday game. They only compiled three hits, and none of them was more than a single. Tyler Wells had a respectable start of 4.2 innings, allowed two runs on five hits and two walks, but with no offense to support him it didn’t matter.

May 19th Probable Starter: Brady Anderson vs. St. Lucie Mets at 5:00 PM CT

Cedar Rapids Kernels 6, Clinton LumberKings 7

After falling behind 7-0, the Kernels scored six runs in the 8th inning but they remained one run short of catching Clinton as they lost 7-6. Blayne Enlow impressed in another start as he went 4.1 innings allowed six hits, no walks, no runs while striking out three batters. Trey Cabbage went 2-for-4 with a triple and run scored. Ben Rortvedt had one hit and it was double that scored three runs.

May 19th Probable Starter: Bryan Sammons vs. Clinton LumberKings at 6:30 PM CT

Minor League Pitcher/Hitter Of The Day

Next: Don't expect the Twins to make any big catching moves

Twins history facing the Brewers

In last night’s loss to the Brewers, the Twins had a five-game win streak against Milwaukee snapped. Since 1970 when the Brewers started playing in Milwaukee (previously the Seattle Pilots) the Twins own the lead in the series with a record of 228-218. Up and down the history of this matchup it has been fairly evenly matched between the team and fanbases that are simply separated by a border. We should be set for a good weekend of baseball as the current version of these teams really seems to be in similar places of competitiveness. Just like the history of their matchup has been.
