Bottom 5 - Twins at Pirates

Luis Rivas blooped a ball to CF to start the inning. The ball dropped and no one hopped on it as Rivas alertly advanced to second. The ball dropping was no big deal, but the Twins failure to keep Rivas at first was a mistake. Then, Snell bunted and Slowey, likely on the advice of Joe Mauer, went to third where the Twins had no chance to retire Rivas. Another blunder. The Twins have been credited for no errors, but I can think of three plays that were absolute mistakes. The first one cost the Twins three runs. Let's see what these lead to. Jack Wilson, one of the best bunters in the game, bunts Rivas home and nearly beats out the play at first.
Bay lined one to right, but the Pirates had no intention of letting Snell try to score from second. The last thing they need is their Opening Day starter tearing his knee up in a meaningless spring training game. LaRoche grounds out to end the inning, but the Pirates add to their lead.
