Starting pitcher Chris Archer threw five innings, giving up two earned runs in the process. However, reliever Trevor Megill gave up two earned in one inning and Emilio Pagan gave up one in 1.1 innings pitched.Ryan Tamte@ryantamte@Twins Why on earth would we pitch Pagan and Megill in a tie game?

Only one other member of their bullpen with consistent playing time has an ERA under 3.80 this season. This is unacceptable, and could end up being one of the main things holding the team back.Andrew Gerdeen@gerde033@Twins Can we clean the bums out of our bullpen now?

Based on the records of the contending teams, it appears to be the least competitive division in the MLB. However, the division title is basically in a dead heat between three teams.Scott@Banditman39@Twins Looking at games remaining &amp; w/ the way the Twins are playing, I see 13-14 more Ws. That’s 82-80 record. Cle on the other hand I think have like 16-17 more Ws. Puts them at like 85-77. Considering we’re 18-21 since the All Star break. 13 Ws seems close if not a little high.@Twins Looking at games remaining &amp; w/ the way the Twins are playing, I see 13-14 more Ws.

It is going to be very interesting to see which of these three squads ends up making it out of the AL Central.
