Joe Mauer was out of the lineup yesterday after starting 17 straight games, so instead of collecting multiple hits he just came off the bench with a two-run homer against Jonathan Papelbon that pulled the Twins to within one run in the ninth inning.

The Twins lost more than they won in May while out-scoring their opponents by 30 runs (168 to 138), which perhaps makes up for going 11-11 in April while being out-scored by 23 runs (116 to 93). ...
