Papelbon blows second straight
MINNEAPOLIS - Jonathan Papelbon isurrendered a two-run single to Mike Lamb in the bottom of the ninth as the Twins took a 7-6 win.
Papelbon has blown back-to-back games, also losing Wednesday's game to the Tigers.
Delmon Young (single, sacrificed to second and stolen base) and Carlos Gomez (walk, stolen base) both scored.
Another one you can pin on Lugo, he doesn't boot that ball early in the game this was an easy win. They should be 5-0 on this road trip. If they miss the playoffs by a game or two we will be looking back at Wednesday and tonight's game.
On the plus side, Okajima is still lights out with 2 in of shut out ball. Maybe he should be the closer?
jk.
someone tell Papelbon his best pitch is his fastball!
Waiting for the Yankee fans.
pap is trying to hard, AND WHEN ARE WE GONNA GET RID OF LUGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO??
i cannot understand why the two runners were allowed to steal two bases without an attempt to throwing the out. two runners score because they were on bases 2nd and 3rd. there would have only one runner score instead of two.
What does "isurrendered" mean?
Papelbon is surely on the hook for this blown save but you make it sound like he had two consecutive bad outings. The prior so called blown save was Lugo's fault if any blame must be placed. THe only ball hit out of the infield was a broken bat flare
