The Pretenders, who all night had been knocking at the door, had just tied the score at four, with one inning left, no less, no more.
Papa Shut 'Em Down gave up a leadoff single. He threw a bunt away. The next Twins hitter tried to sacrifice, and Wilson Betemit, in for defense, threw his bunt away. Justin More Know singled both runners in to give the Twins a 6-4 lead.
Cabrera singled in Boesch in the bottom on the ninth, but that was all, and it wasn't enough.
Jim Thome hit number 601 on the first pitch Brad Penny threw him, giving him three homers in his last three swings of the series.
