Twins vs. Pirates, third inning

Keep reminding yourself of this, Pirates fans: It is only spring training.
Morris had a real rough third inning. He walked Mauer with one out, and Cuddyer crushed a run-scoring double off the left-center field wall.
For Minnesota fans, the fun was just beginning. After a sacrifice fly by Morneau made it 2-0, Craig Monroe and Jason Kubel homered on back-to-back pitches.
Kubel's 420-foot shot to center came after pitching coach Jeff Andrews visited the mound. Wonder what they could have discussed?
I also wonder if Morris, a former 22-game winner, can reverse the trend that has seen him go 20-26 the past two seasons.
