Clete Thomas

The Twins called up outfielder Clete Thomas from triple-A Rochester Monday after optioning first baseman/outfielder Chris Colabello to triple-A Rochester on Sunday after the game against Seattle. Colabello was just 2-15 at the plate and appeared in only 6 games.

The Twins lost 4-3 at home to the Texas Rangers Sunday afternoon. The Rangers complete the 3-game sweep and send the Twins to a American League worst 2-7. Minnesota led until the 8th inning when Josh Hamilton hit a 2-run homerun off Twins' reliever Glen Perkins. Perkins allowed 2 hits and 3 earned runs without recording an out for the Twins. Newly acquired outfielder Clete Thomas hit a 2-run homerun in his Twins debut.
