Felix Doubront (who if he makes the team has to be called Doobie) pitched decently again—going 4 2/3 innings today and giving up just two earned runs (albeit on 8 hits). However, the crew that followed coughed up 6 runs to the Twins, giving the Polite Ones an 8-4 win in the crucial Mayor's Cup Series. Melancon and Atchison were the chief culprits in the defeat, which also saw the return to the lineup of should-be starting shortstop Jose Iglesias. In a AAA contest, Alfredo Aceves gave up three runs in five innings of work.
