    Chris Herrmann was shagging balls in right field during batting practice when he noticed manager Ron Gardenhire waving to get his attention. He sprinted off the field and was told that he, instead of Joe Mauer, was going to catch Kyle Gibson.

    Fate has a way of making special things happen, and Tuesday night was a perfect example. Herrmann filled in for expectant father Mauer, coaxing Gibson through a tough fourth inning and then hitting his first career grand slam in a seven-run 10th to help send the Minnesota Twins past the Los Angeles Angels 10-3.
