Punto "steals" 2nd. He was picked off, but took off towards 2nd. Konerko makes a doo-doo esque throw and Nick is safe at 2nd.

Perkins settles down to retire 3 in a row. He still has decent stuff, but his pitches have been too predictible. The Twins need to think about moving him to the pen, Bass to someone else, and Liriano to the rotation.
Perkins projects as a middle reliever, spot starter. He doesn't have the stuff to be a top-of-the-rotation starter.

RBI bloop for Gomez as the Twins get on the board. Poor throw to home, Gomez to 2nd on the throw. Same situation, runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out.

Clayton Richards seems to be hitting a wall for the Sox. The Twins are pretty good at being patient.
