导出博客文章CLEVELAND -- Hector Santiagos debut with the Twins did not go well on what was
an otherwise successful series against the Indians.The left-hander gave up four
runs over five innings in his first start with the team, allowing Cleveland to
cruise to a 9-2 victory over Minnesota on Thursday.The Twins outscored the
Indians 35-16 in winning the first three games of the series, but were unable to
complete their first-ever four-game sweep in Cleveland, which leads the AL
Central.Ill take three out of four anytime, especially against one of the best
teams in the AL, said Minnesota second baseman Brian Dozier, who went 2 for 4
with his 22nd home run of the year. We were clicking on all cylinders here.When
youve gone through a season like weve had, its tough, but I hope the younger
guys gain a lot of confidence from the way we played.Doziers solo homer came off
Indians starter Mike Clevinger and gave him longballs in three straight games.
He also has a 13-game hitting streak and leads the majors with 15 home runs
since June 19, including five in his last five contests.Brian is showing great
pitch recognition and trust in his hands, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. Hes
had a real nice run for almost two months now.Santiago (10-5), who was acquired
Monday in a four-player trade with the Angels, suffered his first loss since
June 10. Carlos Santana hit a two-run shot and Jason Kipnis had a solo homer in
ending his seven-game winning streak.It was good, I only made two bad pitches,
Santiago said. Two cutters that stood in the middle of the plate, thats it.Joe
Mauer had two hits, while Kurt Suzuki drove in Minnesotas other run with a
single. Mauer batted .667 (12 for 18) with five doubles and six RBI in the
series, but committed two costly baserunning mistakes in the finale.In the
third, Mauer was caught off first on a lineout to center, ending the inning a
split-second before Suzuki crossed home plate.Two innings later, Max Kepler
punched a hit into the right field corner with Mauer on first. Kepler was about
to slide into second when he realized that Mauer had stopped there, leading to
Mauer being tagged out.Joe was involved in a few plays that hurt us, Molitor
said. That second one wound up a long way from third base, so he could have put
more pressure on the defense. You can always check up in a situation like
that.Kepler went 1 for 4, completing the series 8 for 16 (.500) with eight runs,
four homers and 10 RBI. He leads AL rookies in the latter two categories with 15
and 48, respectively.Twins first baseman Kennys Vargas was hitless in three
at-bats, but received cheers after breaking his bat over his right thigh after
an eighth-inning strikeout.HOT SEATTwins 3B Miguel Sano went 1 for 2, but is in
a 4 for 28 slump (.143) and batting just .239 in his second season. He also has
15 errors. Molitor said Sanos work ethic needs improvement and wont rule out
sending him to the minors. Weve had a lot of conversations this year, the
manager said.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: 3B Trevor Plouffe (broken left rib) will be
recalled Monday from his rehab assignment at Triple-A Rochester, barring an
unexpected setback this weekend.UP NEXTTwins: RHP Ervin Santana opens a
three-game series in Tampa Bay. He went six innings, allowing one earned run, in
winning his last start July 31 against the White Sox.Indians: RHP Josh Tomlin,
pitching on extended five days rest, takes the mound to begin a three-game set
at the Yankees. He is 6-1 with a 2.75 ERA on the road.

should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of
money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of
those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so
they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

North Queensland coach Paul Green has baulked at claims Jason Taumalolos NFL
trial is a cynical attempt to boost his NRL market value.But he has warned the
Cowboys wrecking ball he will be a little fish in a big pond during this
weekends workout in Los Angeles.At least 16 NFL scouts will watch Taumalolo and
Cronullas Valentine Holmes attend the weekend drills session at the University
of Southern California.Sceptical Sharks captain Paul Gallen claimed this week it
may be a ploy for the pair to add a few more dollars to their next NRL
contract.Both are off contract in 2017 and share the same manager.Asked about
the theory, Green said: I am not sure - you will have to ask his management
group.However, the CCowboys coach added: But I think there is a bit of genuine
interest (from the NFL).ddddddddddddAfter what Jarryd Hayne did I think it
piqued interest in our game and Jason is an unbelievable athlete so he fits the
mould.But he is a little fish in a big pond over there.It will be interesting to
see how he goes.Asked if he wasnt too concerned Taumalolo would be lost to the
NFL, Green said: I dont want to lose him.He will play for us next year so we
dont lose anything to that extent.But we would like to extend Jason (contract)
for longer - hopefully that is the case for the club.
