Gonzalez (illness) went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox. Gonzalez played the full game at second base after missing two contests due to illness. The 31-year-old is slashing a mild .215/.291/.333 with five homers, 19 RBI and 11 runs scored in 44 games this season. He figures to be the Twins' primary second baseman down the stretch, although Ehire Adrianza could also see the occasional start at the keystone.

Springer pissed about strike three call and should be. But If Manny Gonzalez is going to call that a strike, hitters have to adjust
