Minnesota Twins Notes, Quotes 2009-04-24
--The Twins were held to four runs in Wednesday's day-night doubleheader against the Red Sox, and with Boston's sweep, they haven't won a game at Fenway Park since 2007.

--Entering the doubleheader, manager Ron Gardenhire had used 14 lineups in 14 games. In Game 2 on Wednesday, he swapped out four of his Game 1 starters for players who had been on the bench earlier in the day.

--The bullpen had a mostly positive day despite Wednesday's sweep. Of the six relievers Gardenhire used in the doubleheader, just one, RHP Juan Morillo, allowed any runs. RHP Matt Guerrier pitched two scoreless innings in Game 2, and LHP Jose Mijares, looking to rebound from a disappointing spring training, retired the side in order in his first major league appearance of the season during the nightcap.

--DH/OF Jason Kubel had a muscle-stimulating machine working on his neck Tuesday. He said he's had something pinched in his neck and shoulder area for a couple of days but is not concerned about it.

BY THE NUMBERS: 0 -- Base stealers thrown out by Twins catchers Mike Redmond and Jose Morales, in 16 attempts, through the Twins' first 14 games.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "If you walk (Justin) Morneau and pitch to him, you're going to get your feelings hurt." -- OF Denard Span, on DH Jason Kubel, after Kubel hit for the cycle on April 19. Kubel's feat included an RBI double and a game-winning grand slam immediately following walks to Morneau
