Game #57: A's 2, Twins 1

June 3, 2006 | A's vs. Minnesota

This series with the Twins is turning out to be a showcase for some really good baseball. Since Wednesday we've seen pitchers' duels, low-scoring one-run games, nine innings within two hours, strikeouts aplenty, DPs when needed... and the weather has been beautiful to boot.

I'm sorry to have missed Dan Haren's start: six innings of shutout ball with six Ks, three hits, two walks. Macha kept him in there for 122 pitches.

I did get to listen on the radio when Macha brought Huston Street in to get the last six outs. It was great to hear the crowd going wild after he struck out Justin Morneau in the 8th. Street seems to be okay after all.

And there's still one more game in the series with Rich Harden returning to the rotation after missing all of the month of May and then some.

(Game experience: Listened to last two innings on KYCY 1550 AM.)

A's record: 26-30 | streak: W-1 | well-A-meter: 3
