These days, a win is a win is a win. So, forget that Jon Lester blew another lead (3-0), and just focus on Cody Ross going yard twice in a thrilling 6-5 win over the hapless Twinkies in Minneapolis.

Add to this, a brilliant 8th inning shutdown appearance by Daniel Bard (man on third, one out) for his first win of the year, Aceves with a 9th inning save, and you have the makings of a relieved Nation—literally.
