Tue Sep 27 2011 | 22:58 | Tosoni's slam helps Twins avoid 100-loss mark |
Rene Tosoni hit a grand slam off Vin Mazzaro in the sixth inning Tuesday to push the Twins to a 7-4 win over the Royals. |
With a victory on Wednesday, the Twins will avoid a 100-loss season. Tosoni has hit two homers over the last three games, but make no mistake: He has no business DH'ing for a major league team as he did Tuesday night. He's batting a putrid .202/.276/.345 through 168 at-bats despite riding an eight-game hitting streak. Tosoni figures to be right on the borderline to hold on to a spot on the Twins' 40-man roster this winter. The 25-year-old doesn't project as even a platoon option, and he probably doesn't offer enough defensively to stick as a bench player. |

Tosoni knocked in Trevor Plouffe to end a 3-2 game. It was his first three-hit game as a major leaguer, and it raised his average from .174 to .190. He figures to be right on the borderline to hold on to a spot on the Twins' 40-man roster this winter. The 25-year-old doesn't project as a regular, and he probably doesn't offer enough defensively to stick as a bench player. |
