Talk about timing...Up until this week, no one had picked Kendrys Morales all year..Morales, went off for 10 pts (2/5 2HR 6RBI)... Both of his HRs were in the same inning...from each side of the plate..unreal...Michael has been struggling in his rookie season...The 6 RBIs last night for him match his RBI output in the last 4 weeks combined!  Morales is on pace for 70 pts this week (record is 41)...that will get Michael back in contention
