Fowler had another solid night, going 2 for 5 and scoring a run.
Spin:
After going a Tony Gwynn 1 for 3 the night before, Fowler decided to scrap the fat suit, plug Ted Williams' cryogenically frozen head on the end of his bat, and go a Ted Williams 2 for 5. Fortunately for the Williams family, Fowler kept the ball on the sweet spot of the bat, sparing Ted's frozen head from shattering into pieces at the hands of a 90mph fastball. It should be noted that the extra props Fowler has been using in the past two games in order to channel the greatest hitters in history does nothing to undermine his own ability. Think of Fowler's props more as paying homage, as it is clear that if he channeled Adam Dunn or Dan Uggla by going up to the plate without a bat at all, he'd still manage to collect a hit or two by self-regulating his behavior and swatting away with an invisible hand.
