Joe Mauer kicked two fourth-quarter field goals to spoil a nearly perfect passing day by Chicago quarterback Josh Fields.

I once saw where a manager who had just lost a game 21-9 said, "They got two quick touchdowns before our secondary adjusted."

"I didn't know we were going to play a football game," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.

I always like the quotes from the players and managers in such stories (football-type scores in baseball games), but when it's written into the story, I hate it.

I also like that the next game (20-14 was the first of the doubleheader) was a shutout. Maybe I just remember it that way, but it seems to happen a lot.
