Today I was at the back of the lower tier, in the wheelchair row again - you cannot see the main scoreboard from these seats or for the first few rows of main seating. This is a shame, although you do have to mini-scoreboard at field level in right centre and you can see the TV monitors just above you for TV replays.
This game was close all the way through, and was generally very well played as you would expect from two top contenders. The Twins had another battle tonight, after having exhausted most of the pen the night before in the 13 inning loss to the Tigers (who had another successful extra-inning (11) affair in Kansas City, so their pen must be shattered too) The Rangers executed a perfect suicide squeeze - with so many players running about in close proximity to the plate, it's nowhere near as simple as it often looks on TV. The Rangers scored the run and the Twins got the batter-runner at first base.
Runs were traded through the game until eventually the Twins managed to hang on to a hard-fought win. The crowd was really into it again, and very loud - hardly anybody had left by the end of this one compared to the previous night, so it was a wonderful atmosphere all around.
