Junichi Tazawa makes his second start of a very short career. Once he settled in, and the defense actually started to play defense behind him, he looked good in his first start.
If Youkilis had any chance at MVP, even though Mauer is clearly the best player, then I think it went out the window with his helmet throwing incident. Now he is suspended, and because Drew is hurt, the lineup won’t be as strong the next few days…
…But that is just one man’s opinion.
