Angels 1, Twins

How does Huddler say it? "A few bloops and a blast?"

That's what happened to Bart today. His line doesn't look too hot (6 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 5 K, 0 BB), but it's not really indicative of the way he performed. That third inning was as un-lucky as it gets- the Twins scored four runs on only one hard-hit ball (Jones' homerun), a lucky bunt, and a couple of cheap singles.

As for the other side of the ball, there's no shame in getting shut-down by the game's best. Santana had the Angels off balance from the get-go. He did get a ton of help from his D, with Jacque Jones robbing the Angels of at least three hits, but that's just how the cookie crumbles. You could make a case that the Angels hit the ball as well, if not better, than did the Twins.
