Jesse Crain went to Tampa Bay for a four game seris which ended in a spilt seris decision. Tampa took the first games and the Twins the final two games. Jesse pitched in all four games. The last batter he faced maybe most interesting. After apparently striking out Willy Aybar twice in an 8 pitch at bat, Jesse walked the only batter he faced with bases loaded. Aybar would score on a Grand Slam from Jason Bartlett. Several bloggers across the Twins Nation have taken note see their articles: Unlucky Jesse or “Empirical” strike zone.

Jesse Crain and the Twins lose their first seris of season 2 games to 3 to rival Detroit Tigers. Jesse Crain comments on the last game of the seris.

“Funny things happened that inning,” Crain said. “Obviously, that Span catch is right in front of us. It looked like he caught it, but they didn’t see it that way.”

“The first two pitches, they are all over the fastball,” Crain said. “Just something to take in and remember the next time you go in there. We went to the mound and we wanted a sinker down, and that’s what I threw, and that’s what he did with it. Maybe next time, throw a curveball or something off-speed, but it just didn’t happen. You see the next couple innings, I mixed stuff up and it works out. It’s the life of a reliever. You go in during those big situations, and everybody is amped up, and they are out there swinging early.”

Jesse’s has now pitched 10 innings with 8 earned runs while only walking 2 and striking out 8.

Jesse Crain pitched a scoreless 9th inning for the Twins against the Cleveland Indians. After two rough outs, Jesse took over for Fransico Liriano who left the game scoreless in the 8th.
