Hello Win Column, Win #68: Rangers Crush Twins To Split Series

So, there's been a bit of a break between these HWC posts, but I like doing them, and they are fairly popular, so we're going to start it up again . . . .

Final Score: Rangers 11, Twins 1
Game Recap

We've Seen This Script Before: Twins Lose 11-1 from Twinkie Town

"The Texas Rangers drove another nail in the coffin of the Minnesota Twins 2009 season, beating the Twins 11-1 last night in Arlington . . .

Studs:
1. Marlon Byrd: 2 HR, 4 RBI, Byrd put Texas up for good in the third.
2. Neftali Feliz: Ended the Twins threat in the 6th, allowing only a Redmond single in 1.2 innings.
3. Julio Borbon: 3 for 5, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI. Showed some pop for a speedster.

Duds:
1. Bobby Keppel. Three batters, three doubles.
2. Joe Crede. 0 for 3 with the key GIDP in the 6th.
3. Jeff Manship: 5 hits in 1.2 innings. Some of the hits were quite unlucky (grounder that Cabrera could have had, etc.), but he may have been lucky to give up only 2 runs."
