Carew, hitting .395, says he is too old to bat .400 though many experts think he could still reach it. He notes the bat feels heavier as the season goes on after contributing two singles and a double in a 12-2 Twins win over the Rangers. Larry Hisle homered and doubled, while Dave Goltz pitched a complete game for Minnesota.
