Well, that's a pretty pithy summary of a horror show that, had it happened to the Tribe, would have spawned 100 pages of fan fury here.Twins blow 2-run lead in bottom of 10th, committing two errors in the walk off loss. Colome takes the loss in relief. As win 11th consecutive game.
The Twins scored more runs than they had scored in the last six games combined and still lost. They had back-to-back games where they had a 98% certainty of winning (giving up only one run; scoring 12 runs) and lost both. They rallied from down 7-1 to take the lead, blew it, rallied, then blew it again in the bottom of the 9th, scored two runs in the top of the tenth, then blew it again in the bottom of the inning on two consecutive bases loaded fielding errors with two outs.
It was a mind-bending loss where their ace, Kenta Maeda was shelled, and their closer blew two leads, throwing 49 pitches in the process. It was a shattering loss of epic proportions that demonstrates once and for all what a stupid thing it would be for the major leagues to move back the mound a foot. By the end of this year, pitching staffs are going to be on fumes. Tonight's Rays-Royals game is exhibit 1b, among other ludicrous games being played this year. (The Tribe refuses to participate in such nonsense).
