Denard Span, batting leadoff and filling in for the injured Michael Cuddyer in the Minnesota Twins' right field, hit his first big league home run Monday night in the club's 7-0 lashing of the rival Chicago White Sox.Span, who's batting .318 with a .405 OBP in just 35 games, nailed a two-run shot in the third inning to go along with Justin Morneau's 4 RBIs which gave youngster Kevin Slowey a hefty lead to work with. The 24-year-old righty, never allowing more than one man on base in any inning, struck out five and walked one to help the Twins move within 1.5 games of the division-leading South-Siders.
With six more games left in the season between these two teams -- all at the Dome -- things could get interesting in the race for first in the AL Central.

2 more games and 1st is all ours! And by ours I mean theirs...the Twins.
Don't jinx the Twins please :) oh and remember Livan still has to pitch.....
He's 8-1 at home with a 3.91 ERA this season, so I'll take my chances. Let's just forget the 7-run, 8-hit blunder that was his last outing against the White Sox...
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Dammit, I knew I should have saved my insightful "GO TWINS! WOOO!" commentary for the appropriate post. In that vein...
