The left side of the infield has a Rochester look to it, with Trevor Plouffe and Danny Valencia starting today. Plouffe is batting second, as Twins manager Ron Gardenhire prefers to leave Joe Mauer in the No.3 hole.

Tim Hudson is 6-2 with a 2.12 ERA in his career against the Twins but hasn't faced them since 2007.

Denard Span still can't believe Joe Mauer's drive in the third inning yesterday didn't fall in for a hit. ``I thought I did everything right," he said. It didn't, as Span was doubled up at second and Nick Punto failed to score before the out was made. ``You just have to turn the page," Span said.
