Cortez watch

In Fernando Cortez' last game with Omaha, he went 5 for 5. Tonight, in his first two KC plate appearances, he's 2 for 2. That would give him 7 hits in his last 7 plate appearances.

But wait, there's more:

In his 2nd-to-last Omaha game, he only had one hit, but it was in his final AB of that game.

Eight for his last eight. Pretty decent, Fernando. Let's see if he can keep it going throuhgout the rest of this game; the Royals will need it, as Florida has taken a 6-3 lead in the 5th.
