MLB.com: Fox pitches in as Twins rally past Rangers

Matt Fox had not been in line to be one of the Twins’ September callups. In fact, the right-hander probably wasn’t even on the organization’s radar for one.

Yet there Fox was on Friday night at Target Field, making his Major League debut in a 4-3 Twins win over the Rangers and pitching in a situation that even he might not have been able to envision 24 hours earlier.

The Twins have had a remarkable run of injuries...how is it they're still on top? And which is more likely...pitching like they got on Thursday night, where 5 different relievers all gave up runs, or pitching like they got from a very unlikely prospect on Friday night? The White Sox really have only themselves to blame for not taking advantage of a great opportunity.

The White Sox really have only themselves to blame for not taking advantage of a great opportunity.

I'm not sure what this means. Despite their injuries, the Twins are still playing winning baseball.

In fact, aside from a couple brief stretches, the Twins have played winning baseball all year. It's not like they're going to take the division with 83 wins. The White Sox were never going to win 90+ games - their only hope was that the Twins would be bad. They haven't been bad, so they'll win the division. There's no shame in finishing second to the 2010 Twins.
