So Colt Keith hit his first home run of the season this afternoon, a two-run blast with nobody out in the sixth. I don't care whether it was wind-aided or humidity-aided, it provided the stick-a-fork-in-him-he's-done moment for Zebby Matthews, who still emerged as the Twins pitcher that day with the lowest ERA (5.20) after the 11-0 shellacking was over.

I’m happy for Colt. I’m sure that was a big monkey off his back.

He was beaming as he rounded the bases, and the dugout briefly gave him
the silent treatment when he got back.

If I'm remembering correctly, Keith took a while to hit his first homer last season - though not as long as this year - and then went on a hot streak. We'll see if yesterday kick starts his offense moving forward.
