MN Star-Tribune: No gain, and plenty of pain

“I’m still kind of flabbergasted by the whole event,” [Ron Gardenhire] said.

Gardenhire wasn’t flabbergasted because his team found ways to score runs off Toronto ace Roy Halladay but still lost to the Blue Jays 8-5 at the Metrodome.

Rather, he had just left the trainer’s room, where Luis Castillo was icing a swollen left hand and Jeff Cirillo was having his right knee examined. “It’s not a good scenario for (tonight’s) game,” Gardenhire said.

Castillo might need X-rays today if the considerable swelling doesn’t subside overnight. Cirillo, who started at first base, said he could play if needed, but Gardenhire might think twice after Cirillo committed an error Monday.

[G]ardenhire left the Dome wondering who will be available tonight—and beyond. “We’ll find a way to put a team out there tomorrow,” Gardenhire said. “We’ll see what we can find.”
