Twins Fail To Gain Ground, Drop One To Toronto


The Minnesota Twins ended their chance to gain a half game on the AL Central leading Chicago White Sox, losing 9-0 to Jesse Litsch and the Toronto Blue Jays. Litsch was spectacular, retiring 27 batters while only allowing 4 hits and walking 2. Minnesota forgot to bring their bats, getting only 1 player with more than one hit, that being center fielder Denard Span.

Minnesota falls to 1 1/2 games behind Chicago, and will start a 3-game series with the Detroit Tigers.

The Good: Jesse Litch, pitching tremendously and earning his 10th win
The Bad: Twins' starter Kevin Slowey, who allowed 10 hits and 3 earned in 5 2/3
