Detroit — Alex Wilson, right leg already in a cast, a walking cane by his locker, sadly shook his head.
“Exhausted,” he said, when asked to describe his emotions. “This is kind of like my season in a nutshell.”
Wilson’s right fibula was broken, a clean fracture, by a 103.8-mph line drive off the bat of Joe Mauer — a shot that triggered an eight-run eighth inning and a 10-4 for by the Twins Saturday night.
“I got skin cancer (on his nose earlier in the season), grinded through the second half of the season, my daughter (Rosie) broke her collarbone last night and I break my leg today,” Wilson said.
