ARLINGTON, Texas -- Minnesota Twins pitching coach Neil Allen rejoined the team Thursday, six weeks after his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.Allen was back for the start of a four-game series at Texas, the last games before the All-Star break.That was just more timing of him completing the clubs requirements and things that he needed to do, manager Paul Molitor said, without getting into specifics. I know hes excited, hes walking around with a big smile on his face today. Probably a little nervous, but thats good too.The Twins suspended Allen indefinitely after his arrest in the early morning hours of May 27 in downtown Minneapolis.According to the Hennepin County Sherriffs Office, Allen was arrested at 1:59 a.m. that Thursday for third degree driving while impaired and refusal to submit to a sobriety test. The 58-year-old Allen was stopped about 10 blocks from Target Field where the Twins played Kansas City the previous afternoon.We all know hes been through a difficult journey here as of late, but I think its been a beneficial one for him, Molitor said.I think for the most part, hes going to be the same guy, he said. I think that the one thing, without divulging too much, that it was time for him to kind of reflect on some things in his life that have happened, and get some perspective back, as well as strength. Hes doing well.This is Allens second season with the Twins after eight seasons coaching in the Tampa Bay organization.Eric Rasmussen, the minor league pitching coordinator for the Twins, had filled in as pitching coach during Allens absence.
