MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins broke through for a victory for the second time in 10 games against the Chicago White Sox in one of the weirdest ways possible Friday night: A pinch-hit, walk-off walk by Joe Mauer.Despite an illustrious career filled with batting titles, All-Star games and an MVP award, it was only the second career walk-off plate appearance for Mauer, whose walk gave the Twins to a 2-1 victory.An on-base machine over his career, White Sox pitcher Tommy Kahnle got strike one before missing on four straight balls to walk in the winning run.That might be my first (walk-off walk), Mauer said. I was happy for the opportunity. I havent (had that chance) a whole lot over my career but those are fun situations to be in and when you come through like tonight, its even better.It was a tough way for Chicago to lose as its dropped three straight contests. The White Sox trail the Central Division-leading Cleveland Indians by 9 1/2 games and the Boston Red Sox, the second wildcard, by seven.You feel like you gave it to them if youre not going to throw strikes, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. Thats what makes it tougher.Chicago tries to get back on track with Miguel Gonzalez on the mound Saturday. Gonzalez boasts a 2-5 record and a pedestrian 4.28 ERA but has been solid in five July starts, lasting at least six innings in each turn and posting a 2.76 ERA in that span. He has won just one of those outings however and the White Sox are 2/3 in games he has started since July 1.Gonzalez has struggled in three career games against the Twins, posting a 1-2 record with a 5.94 ERA.Minnesota goes with Tommy Milone (3-3, 4.97 ERA), who is looking to rebound off one of his worst starts of the season last time out against the Red Sox on Sunday when he allowed eight runs (four earned) on 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings.A solid outing by Milone could help boost his trade value for a contender looking for a long reliever or bottom of the rotation arm heading into Mondays trade deadline. Minnesota traded infielder Eduardo Nunez on Thursday in the first of what is expected to be a busy weekend for the team with the American Leagues worst record. Rumors have been swirling about the future of a number of the Twins veterans.Milone gave up five runs on nine hits and a walk in 3 1/3 innings against the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field on June 30, but has generally fared well against them in his career. The left-hander is 4-1 with a 2.75 ERA in nine starts. Cheap Seattle Mariners Jerseys .

Which two darts stars from the past or present would create an epic encounter in the red-hot atmosphere of a Premier League night?The Sky Sports trio of Wayne Mardle, Dave Clark and Rod Studd have made their picks... Jocky Wilson v Eric Bristow, SSE Hydro in Glasgow Jocky Wilson would receive vociferous home support in Scotland Wayne Mardle: It would be Jocky Wilson versus Eric Bristow, but it would have to take place in Glasgow. The reason being that Eric would be getting so much stick it would be hilarious to watch him deal with it.The darts would be absolutely quality. If you take Bristow from 1984-85 and Jocky from the same era, that would be a great game. I think it would be nip and tuck all the way through, but Eric would eventually win 7-5.Jocky would miss one dart at double top while attempting a 120 finish. Eric would take out 64 on his last dart, turn around very, very slowly, smile and shake Jockys hand. Then he would smile at the Glasgow crowd, and laugh.Eric Bristow v Michael van Gerwen, 3Arena Dublin Eric Bristow was the dominant player of his era Dave Clark: These two are leaders of their generation of darts players and would supply a brilliant match. Brissy in his prime would try to get into Van Gerwens head, the mind games would start weeks beforehand, and he would probably rattle the Dutchman. The animation and cockiness of Bristow and the animation and cockiness of Van Gerwen. Its a dream mix, its combustible. Dave Clark It would be a perfect storm between those two - and a perfect match of darts. The animation and cockiness of Bristow and the animation and cockiness of Van Gerwen. Its a dream mix, its combustible.Dublin would be the place to have it, Bristow would get a lot of stick there, and that would wind him up even more. The walk-ons would be fantastic, it would be a tinderbox atmosphere, absolutely incredible. Just seeing Bristows little finger raised in the air in front of 10,000 people, it would be breathtaking.I think Bristow would fly out of the blocks, put in a couple of 180s, there would be a nine-darter in there as well. Van Gerwen would fire back and level things up in the decisive leg of an all-time classic Premier League match. Despite claimingg a point, I think Van Gerwen would have a tear in his eyes that the old dog had bothered him.ddddddddddddJohn Lowe v Peter Manley, Circus Tavern, Purfleet Peter Manley relished a battle of wits on the oche Rod Studd: This would be a great clash between contrasting styles and generations in the sport. John Lowe, one of the great stalwarts of the game, from the first golden era of darts against Peter One Dart Manley, who just epitomised everything about the razzmatazz and the panache that currently surrounds the game.It could be held at the Sands Centre in Carlisle, where hometown player Manley would still have less than half of the crowds support, but I have opted for that old darting bear pit of the Circus Tavern. The studious Lowe, a great ambassador for sportsmanship, would share the oche with Manley, the master of mischief making. It would be terrific. Who can forget Manleys match against Adrian Lewis when he gave that who me? look as Jackpot walked off the stage during the game. Lowe would be thinking: Im here to play darts, what are you here for? Rod Studd John Lowe would make his way to the oche in serene, statesmanlike fashion, whereas Manley would cavort towards the stage in his pink flamingo shirt with Is this the way to Amarillo blaring out. Lowe would be thinking: Im here to play darts, what are you here for?Peter would try every tactic in the book to unsettle Lowe. He would see it as a great challenge to get old stone face to crack at some point. That would be the ultimate feather in his cap, probably better than the Lewis walk out. One Dart pulled off a number of upset victories in his career In the match itself, you could probably have Lowe down for a nine-darter. But I can just see Manley hitting a 121, a 161 and a 141, with some of his monstrous one dart finishes and somehow managing to win, despite not playing as well as his opponent. In a final impish act, he would take the board off the wall, and ask John Lowe to sign it.Watch all of the Premier League action this Thursday night, starting at 7pm on Sky Sports 1.
