DETROIT - All in all, it wasn't a bad day at the office for Mike Minor.
The second complete game of his career -- a compelling post-script to his case for All-Star Game inclusion, one of his stated goals for this season -- and, just about the time he was finishing up talking about it all, a national championship for his alma mater, Vanderbilt.
Continuing to mix four pitches in most unpredictable patterns and able to adjust his plan in-game on a moment's notice, Minor allowed Detroit five hits and a run in the Rangers' 4-1 win.
