Getting your player ready...
Ah, the wonders of not playing baseball in a dome built for blocking and tackling. Wednesday’s game attracted a season-high 40,814 fans — the Twins’ 33rd sellout in 35 home dates at Target Field, where fans cheer when a light rain falls. For the record, the Twins have had one rainout and one suspended game at home this year.
Untimely hitting.
The Rockies had a chance to tie the game with Chris Iannetta at third and two out in the eighth inning. But Todd Helton struck out to end the threat. Helton is 1-for-17 (.059) with two outs and runners in scoring position.
Twin killings.
Baseball against the other league has been very, very good to the Twins. The victory gave Minnesota 22 wins in its last 27 interleague series.
