Matt Lindstrom took a blown save and a loss after giving up two runs in the ninth Thursday against the Twins. Lindstrom was given a gift right away, with C.B. Bucknor ringing Joe Mauer up on a slider that was several inches off the plate. Lindstrom, though, needed to be spotted more than one out today. He walked Josh Willingham, gave up a game-tying single to Trevor Plouffe and then surrendered a rocket to center from Oswaldo Arcia that turned into a go-ahead triple. Lindstrom isn't really closer material in our minds, but the good news for him is that the heir apparent, Nate Jones, is off to a dreadful start. Lindstrom should keep the job for now.
