With the Twins milking a 1-0 lead against the Royals in the ninth inning on Friday, Matt Capps blew his seventh save, serving up a two-run homer to rookie Eric Hosmer.
That should about do it for Minnesota's beleaguered "stopper," who is now the not-so-proud owner of a 4.76 ERA through his first 39 2/3 innings over 38 appearances this season. Rather amazingly, his most recent strikeout came on June 27, which was nine appearances and 7 2/3 innings ago. Joe Nathan is a good bet to take the mound in the Twins' next save situation.
