Twins 4, Pirates 2: Twins Win on Valencia's Three-Run Blast--Is This Real Life?

No, it's not real life--it's just spring training.

Even though spring training games shouldn't be taken too seriously, Danny Valencia was a sight for sore eyes to Twins fans today. Valencia's double in the 5th inning was the first extra-base hit for the Twins since last Sunday, and his three-run homerun in the 6th was the biggest hit a Twin has had so far this year. Think about it--in one swing, Valencia drove in as many runs as all of the Twins had drove in in the last 37 innings combined.

Besides Valencia's blast, the game was rather uneventful.
