Black Sunday followed a terrific Saturday.
The Twins lost to Baltimore, 7-3, and the White Sox swept the Tigers to go a game and a half ahead of the Twins.
Alarmingly, the starting pitching wasn't good during the series with the Orioles. Glen Perkins allowed six runs in three innings in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader. Nick Blackburn gave up six runs in four innings against the Orioles on Sunday.
The bullpen's issues were troubling enough. The Twins can score runs, but they must rely on good pitching.
Tonight the Twins are behind the Indians, 3-0, and White Sox and Yankees are tied, 2-2. Gulp. The Twins really do not want to fall behind any further.
