I hope Lopez pitches a gem and Buxton doesn’t get injured. Royals start a southpaw, so Twins keep Kirilloff, Julien and Wallner on the bench.  |

Dinger in first at bat for Lewis, but injured running the bases in 2nd at bat. Classic MN sports. We can't have nice things. Buxton 2.0? |

Three of the Twins top relievers (Duran, Thielbar and Topa) start the season on the injured list. So much for the six months of offseason and spring training to be ready.

Yes always good sign to get two injuries in game 1.
Also appears Jax would be closer if need be.

Jax gets the save in a 4-1 win. But, just like last season, the Twins hitters struck out 12 times while leaving 11 runners on base. Need to make contact and put the ball into play.

The biggest strikeout offenders were Castro with 3, Kepler with 2, Santana with 2 and Farmer with 2.

With Lewis out (I’m guessing for at least a month), I think they’ll start Farmer at third base. But, who gets called up?
Brooks Lee is injured with back spasms.
Jose Miranda was moved to first base after having shoulder surgery.
Austin Martin hasn’t played third base since his college days.
Yunior Severino would be kind of a surprise.
Trevor Larnach would not cover third base, but he could be brought up for his bat.

Royce Lewis is going to the injured list. Austin Martin will be activated.

Royce Lewis (severe right quad strain)
Expected return: No sooner than June.
Lewis will need at least a month of pure recovery.

A clutch ninth inning (four runs on only two hits) for the Twins to win it. Great pitching so far, although it’s against a bad team in the Royals.
