[WaitTilNextYear]

First game in a while. Even though I struck out 14 times against a Twins staff that doesn't do very much of that, I have to tip my cap. They hit their spots and made some great pitches when they needed to. Stanton homered for the 2nd straight game after going homerless in the first 15 games of Spring Training. Was not enough as the Twinkies staged a 2 out rally in the 5th and batted around. Could not get that final out for nothing.
