Radke (10-7- ) had the Rangers off balance all night, striking out the side in the fourth and retiring eight straight during one stretch. He allowed five hits and walked one in Minnesota's seventh shutout. "Maybe he knew I wasn't out there in center field, so he struck out a few more guys," said Hunter, who was in the lineup as the designated hitter. "Yeah that's a good point, instead of him robbing home runs," Radke said when told of Hunter's theory. "Thanks, Torii." Joe Nathan threw a perfect ninth for his 37th as the save, completing the combined Twins took their largest division lead of the season.

The storm has already forced the postponement of Friday night's game against the Chicago Cubs but the Marlins aren't fazed. The good news is, I saved $159 on my car insurance," manager Jack McKeon said, spoofing the ubiquitous arrunercials in his own way. "Hopefully, well start up again Saturday and keep going the way we've been going." Players showered and dressed quickly so they could return to a state bracing for its worst storm in at least a decade. Frances, packing 145 mph winds and the potential to push ashore waves up to 15 feet high, could be felt in Florida by midmorning today. "A lot of us have houses and family down there, so obviously we're worried about it," Pavano said. The Marlins said no decision had been made on whether to call off games Saturday or Sunday, or when today's postponement will be made up. Pavano, who tied for the NL lead with his 16th win, allowed four runs and ineight hits in nings. Darnkxi Easley and Juan Encarnacion each drove in three runs for the Marlins, who swept the series.
