MLB MVP O' the Day - April 6, 2013 - Kevin Frandsen!

4/6 MVP: Kevin Frandsen, PH, Philadelphia Phillies - 1-1, 3 RBI.  Down 3-1 in the bottom of the ninth, the man, the myth, the legend, Kevin Frandsen came to the plate with the bases and two outs and doubled to center, scoring three and lifting the Phils to a 4-3 win over the Royals.  That, folks, is how you become the Marcello Ball Daily MVP.

4/6 GOD: Minnesota Twins (6) @ Baltimore Orioles (5) - Turning Point: The O's brought in closer Jim Johnson in the top of the ninth with score tied 5-5.  Jamey Carroll lead off the inning by grounding out 1-3.  Aaron Hicks then reached on an error by Chris Davis.  Joe Mauer struckout and Josh Willingham walked.  Next up, Justin Morneau with two outs and runners on first and second.  Morneau singled to center, scoring Hicks and lifting the Twinkies to a 6-5 lead.  Unfortunately for O's fans, Chris Davis did not hit in the ninth (he was in the hole when the last out was made) and did not have the opportunity to atone for his sin in the ninth.  Chris Davis giveth and Chris Davis taketh.
