Twins 3, Tigers 2: A new and exciting version of the Alex Colome Experience

Twins 9, Red Sox 6 (10 innings): A roller coaster that finally ends on a high note
Josh Donaldson did the things we all wish he’d been doing in April and May. | Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports Colomé collapses, but Donaldson and Cave come through in extras From time to time this season, yours truly has opened one of these game recaps by stating that the individual game we’d just witnessed was essentially a microcosm of the season.
