Twins break losing streak

By Harris Ford


The Twins avoided another sweep and won for just the second time in 17 games. This was the third-longest skid in Minnesota's 51-season history, behind a 14-game slide in 1982 and a 13-game drought in 1961, the first year the franchise moved from Washington.

Romo suffered a fractured rib and collapsed lung in the Cowboys' 27-24 overtime win at San Francisco on Sunday. Kitna is taking the first-team snaps in practice during Romo's absence, but the Cowboys' believe Romo will be available against the visiting Redskins. He was fitted for a protective vest Wednesday. scores

In the NL West, the Diamondbacks will clinch the NL West pennant with a victory in any of their three games in a weekend series against World Series champion Giants, but grabbing the division title is hardly the extent of their reach.

On Sunday, Uehara entered a bases-loaded situation at Seattle and got the final out of an inning. On Wednesday, he pitched a 1-2-3 seventh and got the win after Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton hit homers in the eighth. Tateyama has not pitched in 12 days since giving up a grand slam to Oakland. Feldman would likely only be taken if the Rangers decide they need a multi-inning reliever as a backup for the starters.

Kehl alleges the Giants' defensive coordinator, Perry Fewell, coaches that. The claim could lead to an investigation by the league after it sent a memo on cracking down on fake injuries.
