MINNEAPOLIS — The 19,005 announced fans at Target Field on Tuesday booed as Jovani Moran exited the bullpen to take the mound in the eighth inning.
To be fair to them, Joe Ryan was throwing a no-hitter at that point. But to be fair to Twins manager Rocco Baldelli, Ryan was on 106 pitches already thanks to numerous foul-offs.
In the end, there was no no-no in store, as Moran let in two walks, two hits and three runs in the top of the ninth. But the Twins still won 6-3 against the Royals, at least.
