An extra-innings victory in Game 3 helps the Minnesota Twins avoid being swept by the fourth-place Chicago White Sox, but it's hard for David and Dan to find a ton of positives in this series loss. Their bullpen struggled, their bats had difficulty getting hits in key situations, and now they head to Cleveland -- still as a first-place team in the down AL Central Division. David and Dan praise the play of Nick Gordon and Byron Buxton, respectively, and find plenty of shade to cast on the performances of Jose Miranda and Trevor Larnach. They wonder about the role of replay in baseball as well as who might be a candidate to lose a roster spot to Alex Kirilloff. They also look around the league at the rough start for the Oakland Athletics and the responses of players who were asked about the rules changes thus far. Thanks for listening; go Twins!
