Influenza, Morneau leads twins onslaught

Sunday, April 24, 2011

With its loss to the twins, Indians are 3-5 against the Central, 10-2 against all other teams, including 6-0 against the great evil to the East. Kubbel was one of the few Minnesota Twins swinging the bat well and Morneau golpear.200 and playing for the first time since missing five games with a nasty flu fighter. There was much logic in baseball behind the decision. This does not mean that Morneau took to it like it. Great single of two Morneau runs in the fifth helped the twins from an offensive in the season long slump jump in a 10-3 over Cleveland victory. "You cannot look into it more than what it is," Morneau said. "They wanted to set up the double play and I have not achieved as well as in the past, still this year I have." "But there is no reason to believe that I am not going to get a success there." Brian Duensing (2-0) gave up one run on five hits in seven innings. The twins scored five runs in a game for the first time this season, a night after the opening of the series was postponed by rain. Fausto Carmona (1-3) gave six runs on seven hits and walked four in five innings for the Indians. Grady Sizemore hit a homer in two runs in the eighth against Dusty Hughes, but the game was already out of reach at that time. Danny Valencia hit a homer two runs, and Jason Kubbel had two hits and three RBIs for the twins, who entered the day with the fewest runs in the majors. Morneau, who had two hits, had lost five previous games due to an illness that has been circulating through the home club of twins, and got an extra day of rest when the game was rained on Friday night. He was hitting only. 208 in the season in his first action since July because of a concussion, one of the twin difficulties on the plate. So it was no surprise when the Indians walked Kubbel to load the bases with one out to fifth Morneau. But made them pay with a single to centerfield that scored Denard Span and Alexi box to give the twins a 5-1 lead. He collected his batted fourth and fifth of the season and the twins took a lead of 6-1 after five years. "I want to be there with guys in position to score and I want to be there with guys on base and that's all," said Morneau. "This is the situation that I want to be in." That is why hit me the fourth. I like that situation. To come through a coup d ' état and finally score some runs as a team was good. Act was not satisfied how Carmona came to the at bat, saying that he would have seen Carmona relies on his plate to try to get a double play. "If I am in bed for four days, I think that was rather an 86 mph than 92 mph changeup sinker", says the Act. "They are lessons to be learned." It was no surprise when this series open that he had the first team and last place in the Central of to the. But most was when he began the season that the twins would be Division, with the Indians in the struggle against the Royals for a place in the basement of the new station. But the Indians have been one of the pleasant surprises of the first month. Sizemore is of a serious knee injury, Travis Hafner is oscillating bat much better and the bullpens has closed things Indians (13-7) of aid for the best record in the injuries of others, and disease have destroyed the twinscausing Tsuyoshi Nishioka, Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer and Delmon Young all lose huge chunks of time. One of the preseason Favorites to win the Division, began the day with the worst record in the American League 7-12. They were the only team in the League not to score more than five runs in a game of this season, but eventually he broke against Carmona on Sunday.
