Hey!  The Twins came from behind again this afternoon to win their ninth straight ballgame and are currently a mere half a game behind the White Sox for the division lead.  The hockey player contributed a two-run homer and a run-scoring single and currently has 62 RBI with still a couple of games to go before the season's halfway point.  The Twins are certainly enjoying interleague play, it seems.

And by the way, the Strib's online comments section on the game includes this intriguing reader remark:

--Thanks, ghadlich, wherever you are, for pointing that out.  Could history repeat itself?  (See, of course, 1987, 1991.)
