Minor League Thread 9/4!

Hello everyone,

Indians (MLB) - defeated the Twins 7-5 in 11 innings; DH Travis Hafner had his first multi-homer game of the season, including a Top of the 9th, 2-out 2-run HR off Twins' closer Joe Nathan to tie the game 5-5, only Nathan's third blown save on the season, and first since June 17 against Milwaukee.  Asdrubal Cabrera had a 2-out 2B off of Nathan ahead of Hafner.  

LHP Aaron Laffey had arguably his worst start since he was called up:

4.0 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HB; 7 G/3 F; 40 S/27 B (5.93)

RHP Kevin Slowey pitched well, outside of giving up another HR (now 14 HR in 42.0 IP):

5.0 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 HR (solo to Hafner); 3 G/9 F; 58 S/31 B (5.36)

Asdrubal Cabrera had 3 hits, while Hafner, Martinez, Lofton, and Blake each had 2 hits.

The Indians now lead the Tigers by 7 games, who lost to the White Sox 3-1.
