News: After his hit streak ended at eleven games on Wednesday, Morneau's bat resumed it's scorching pace as he went 3-for-3 and finished just a triple short of the cycle in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Houston Astros. Morneau clubbed his eighteenth homer to right in the sixth inning, and has now raised his average to .275 on the season.
Views: Does anyone remember when Morneau was batting just over the Mendoza line in the second week of May? Morneau always looked like a kid capable of hitting .280 with thirty-plus homers, and he appears to be over the confidence issues he had in the box after getting beaned in the head last season. Keep him in the lineup!
