The Angels had a momentous Saturday, and a fruitless Sunday. Matt Shoemaker emerged from the dugout at the opening of this game as a man hellbent on getting the four game series sweep. He would fail in this endeavor. Torii Hunter set the tone of brutality with a home run in the second.
It didn't get better from there. Eddie Rosario hit a two-run shot off of The Cobbler in the third, making it 3-0 Twins and they were about to put The Bearded One in their rear-view mirror for good. The fourth inning was the scene of the crime; the weapons used an Aaron Hicks RBI single, and the 4-0 score meant that Matt Shoemaker's Sunday start would be the victim.
