MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jorge Polanco hit a game-ending three-run homer in the 10th inning, and the Minnesota Twins completed a four-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers with a wild 12-9 victory. Polanco hit a full-count pitch from Derek Holland to left field for his 12th homer of the season. Catcher Jake Rogers had given the Tigers a 9-8 lead with a grand slam in the top of the ninth, but Twins catcher Ben Rortvedt tied it with a solo shot in the bottom half. Tyler Duffey pitched a scoreless 10th to get the win. The Twins are now off for the All-Star Break until Friday when they go to Detroit and play a split doubleheader with the first game at 1:10 and game two scheduled for 7:10 on Friday.

 

SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Lucas Glover is a winner again after 10 long years. It all came together over the back nine at the John Deere Classic. The former U.S. Open champion birdied five of his last seven and finished with a par save from the bunker. That gave him a 64 and a two-shot victory over Ryan Moore and Kevin Na. It was his first PGA Tour victory after 244 official starts. Glover’s last win was in 2011 at Quail Hollow. The victory returns him to the Masters. He already was in the British Open next week at Royal St. George’s.

 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Napheesa Collier matched her career-high with 27 points and the Minnesota Lynx won their seventh straight with an 86-61 win over the Los Angeles Sparks. The Lynx shot 56% from the field and won their seventh straight, solidifying their fourth-place standing in the WNBA as the league heads into the Olympic break. Layshia Clarendon added 14 points and Sylvia Fowles had 10. Erica Wheeler and Brittney Sykes had 14 points each, and Amanda Zahui B added 10 for the Sparks.
