CLEVELAND -- By the fifth inning, Twins manager Paul Molitor began thinking about which position player he'd choose to take the mound if worse came to worst.
Shortly thereafter, outfielder Shane Robinson began lobbying.
"It's something I've always wanted to do," Robinson said. "So I can scratch that off my bucket list now."
Starting pitcher Ervin Santana was knocked out of the game by the third inning of Saturday's 17-4 loss in Cleveland, and the Twins burned through five relievers over the next 4 2/3 innings. By the time they got to Robinson, they had used all nine members of their bullpen in the previous 24 hours.
