In game two, Alex Cobb came off the injured list and was promptly hammered by the Twins for nine runs on ten hits, including three home runs in just two and 2/3 innings pitched. Mike Wright came on things got out of hand. Brandon Kline came on the 7th and pitched a perfect inning in his major league debut, but came back out for the 8th and allowed to homers.
