José Miranda

MIN • 3B • #

Jose Miranda singled in his lone at-bat off the bench Saturday, only to be erased on a baserunning blunder afterwards.

As much as the Twins are struggling at the moment, the blunder will likely be remembered. After Miranda’s single, Christian Vázquez hit an easy grounder to first that Spencer Torkelson handled and threw to second on. Miranda should have been retired easily, except that Colt Keith was in front of the bag and failed to find it with his back foot. The umpire correctly called Miranda safe, but Miranda assumed he was out and started to return to the dugout, allowing Keith to tag him. It probably didn’t decide the outcome in a 4-0 loss, but it was a bad look from a player hitting just .167/.167/.250 in 36 plate appearances. Miranda, who has started only one of the last four games, is a candidate to be sent down when Brooks Lee returns.

Simeon Woods Richardson shut out the Astros for five innings in a no-decision Sunday.

A nice rebound for Woods Richardson, who gave up six earned runs to the Rangers in his return to the majors Tuesday. He allowed just one hit, walked one and struck out four while lowering his ERA to 5.13 today. The Twins will have him face the Brewers at home next weekend.

Jhoan Duran took his second blown save of the year after allowing a run in the ninth Sunday against the Astros.

The Astros scratched out a run against Duran with a leadoff walk, a steal, a soft infield single and a sac fly. Even the walk was suspect, as both ball three and four could have been called strikes. Duran, who also gave up a run and took a loss Saturday, didn’t do much wrong in this one.

Harrison Bader

Harrison Bader fanned all four times up Sunday in the loss to the Astros.

Bader greatly exceeded expectations offensively over the first two months of the season, but regression seems to have set in now; he’s hitting .171/.250/.314 with 16 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances during June. Assuming that Byron Buxton is fine, Bader is probably in line to do more sitting against righties until he heats back up.

Alec Bohm went 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored, a two-run home run and three RBI against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Bohm’s home run was his seventh of the year. He hit a two-run shot off Jose Berrios in the fifth inning. Bohm hit third in the batting order Sunday with Bryce Harper (wrist) sidelined. As long as he continues to hit in the middle of the order, he should continue to post strong RBI totals.
