The Twins come up short on Opening Day. A 6-2 loss is a setback for the club. Who had high expectations for 2012. But a resounding 3 dingers from the Sox. Including a late 3-Run shot ruled any comeback out in the 8th inning. A Morneau 2 run double cut the lead in half in the 6th. But the Twins failed to capitalize on the effort. Mike Pelfrey will take the hill next time taking on Gavin Floyd.
