Both Jeff Samardzija and AJ Burnet pitched great games, Burnett's only blemishes coming on a 2 run homer by Anthony Rizzo and an RBI double by Wellington Castillo. Carlos Marmol came in for the Cubs in the bottom of the ninth and put guys on first and second. One pitcher later, Pedro Alvarez had an RBI single to make the game 3-1.
Twins are above .500! They beat the Tigers today, 8-2 to improve their record to 2-1. Trevor Plouffe and Josh Willingham both had homeruns for the Twins.
Twins also improved to 3-2 with their 6-5 win over the Orioles. Justin Morneau got the game winning RBI with a single in the top of the ninth. Chris Davis' homerun streak was snapped.
The Rangers beat the Rays 5-4 last night. You guys should look up the highlights, the strike three call on Ben Zobrist (which ended the game) was a terrible call.
