Twins will activate Reyes post-game

Manager Ron Gardenhire said the team will activate LHP Dennys Reyes from the 15-day disabled list after tonight's game, likely sending down LHP Carmen Cali to make room on the roster ... Jason Kubel is available off the bench tonight and will likely return to the lineup tomorrow.

Each player's chair had a cigar on it this afternoon, in honor of the team's two newest fathers, Carlos Silva and Juan Rincon, whose wives both gave birth to boys on Tuesday morning.

Gardenhire joked this afternoon about the record Atlanta manager Bobby Cox will tie with his next ejection -- the most ejections for one person in major league history -- "He's leery now," Gardenhire said. "When it comes time, I guarantee you he won't be leery."

And now, lineups ...
