Henry Blanco and Carlos Silva are enjoying
their new roles.

Blanco emerged as a big hitter Wednesday night, driving in three
runs with a career-high four hits and Silva earned his first win as
a starter for the defeating the Cleveland Indians
10-6.

"It feels pretty good," Blanco, a career .219 hitter, said
after going 4-for-4. "Hopefully, I can do it again tomorrow."

Blanco, pressed into regular duty last week when catchers Joe
Mauer and Matt LeCroy went on the disabled list, scored three runs,
hit a two-run homer off Jeff D'Amico (1-1) in the third inning and
had an RBI double in a three-run eighth. He raised his average 142
points to .364.

Twins win, 3-0 !!

Radke pitches a whale of a game, Nathan gets the save.

Mienkiewicz is hauled off to the hospital for X-Rays on his ankle, after a collision at 1B with the Tribe pitcher. On the post game show they are saying the X-rays were negative and it's a sprain. He'll be evaluated tomorrow.

:banana:

sucks about doug, this is crazy. morneau might be coming up now if its a bad sprain??

That's what I'd figure but who knows, they might plug Offerman in at 1B, keep Punto and Cuddyer at UTL, and bring up someone else. Cuudyer can play 1B behind Offerman.
