    Black Woods Sports: Tim Bouvine


    Diamond, Dozier and Doumit might sound like a law firm to some, but for the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night the combination of superb starting pitching, solid defense and a big blast from the noted teammates read like an engineer’s blueprint for building a foundation to the road to respectability for the scuffling Twins.
