Bottom of the 5th

Jesse Crain is pitching for the Twins, and since he has appeared in 183 major league games, he is a star today, as all the starters - with the exception of Jason Bay, who is now batting - are pretty much done for the day.

Bay, who has looked better with each day this spring, singles to center - but he is gone, replaced by pinch-runner Marcus Davis.

Tom Hagan, who hit .344 with the GCL Pirates last year (God bless media guides) stands in against Crain. He laces a single to left, making the most of his spring at-bat.

This has now turned into a minor-league game - though you can't blame anyone for this. You never want to get a guy hurt, especially when you're playing an exhibition game two days before the start of the season.

Kris Watts ground into a double play, and it's 2-2.
