My star of the game is Dyson.
Hear me out. Our guys weren’t scoring today (or all season). We need three bass hits or bomb to get on the board. We don’t take enough pitches to walk, don’t hit the ball hard enough to force errors, and don’t have competent enough hitters to deviate from doing anything but hitting into the shift.
So anyway, for the first time that I can recall this season, we manufactured and stole a run, Dyson walked and stole second, no biggie. But Dyson took advantage of the lack of the Twins attention to him to easily steal third. We needed that run and him scoring it did so many things beside cut the lead to one.
1) it forced Rogers to pitch carefully to Moran, which had a positive result (as well as Reynolds)
2). The 3rd baseman played toward second for double play reason against Reynolds which likely didn’t matter as that was a double all day.
3.) also they don’t draw the infield in up 2, so Newman single maybe doesn’t get thru.
Basically, while Polanco’s bomb and Newman’s hit are flashier, I credit today’s win to Dyson.

That was impressive. A run on no hits. Dyson came up big that inning.
