Then this happened:
-Mauer singled.
-Sano doubled.
-Plouffe struck out.
-Rosario singled, scoring Mauer. 6-2, Detroit.
-Rosario attempted to steal second but was called out. However, the Twins challenged via replay, which showed Rosario slid in safely.
-Hicks walked to load the bases.
-Suzuki leaned into a 69 MPH breaking ball - HBP. 6-3, Detroit. Bases still loaded.
-Santana singled up the middle, scoring Rosario and Hicks. 6-5, Detroit.
-Recently snubbed A.L. All-Star Brian Dozier, in almost a proverbial thumb of the nose to voting fans, crushed a 3-run homer to left. TWINS WIN, 8-6!!!!
The reaction on social media was fun to partake.
Let's redo the Final Vote...

.@Twins beat Detroit after trailing 6-1 in the 9th inning.

I happened to notice that actor (and Detroit native/sports fan) Jeff Daniels was most displeased with the loss.

I'm normally not a "rub it in" type of guy but I guess I was just caught up in the excitement of the moment, so I replied with this:
The wife and I are attending this afternoon's contest at Target Field. Let's hope my favorite club still has something left in the tank.
