Gardenhire hears it from fans
Minnesota Twins pitcher Kevin Slowey had thrown seven no-hit innings against the Oakland Athletics.
Manager Ron Gardenhire made the ever unpopular decision of removing Slowey from the game and allowing his bullpen to polish off the victory.
Gardenhire said he understood the booing from the home crowd and would have done the same thing himself.
However, he noted that he would have made the same decision 1,000 times considering all the facts.
Slowey had thrown 106 pitches and missed his previous start with elbow tendinitis, making it a rather easy decision for the manager in the midst of a playoff race.
