2013 Game 19: Rangers at Twins

As I am sure will be mentioned every inning, the temperatures have finally matched the date. It is 67 degrees outside as I write this. Since it was 45 this morning, I dressed for that, so of course I'm going to be a bit warm waiting for the bus this evening. Thankfully it will be in the shade and windy.

Oh, yeah, the Twins. Nine wins after 18 games is more than I would have expected. Hicks going from a black hole to η Carinae A, roughly, helps; though it didn't help the Twins. Since ending his strikeout streak, he has struck out only twice while walking eight times. Unfortunately, he only tallied three hits.

What I also wouldn't have expected after 18 games: Mauer and Morneau have played in every game, and only them.
