TONIGHT:
AM-1300 KGLO — Minnesota Twins at Cleveland — pre-game 4:30, first pitch 5:10

 

 

CLEVELAND (AP) — Royce Lewis had a grand slam and a career-high six RBIs, and Jorge Polanco and Carlos Correa added solo homers off Lucas Giolito in his Cleveland debut as the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins beat the Guardians 20-6. Lewis became the first rookie in MLB history with three grand slams in an eight-game span and the second player ever with five homers and three slams in the same timeframe, joining baseball legend Lou Gehrig in 1931. The Twins moved six games ahead of the second-place Guardians with 24 to play. Giolito, claimed off waivers from the Angels on Aug. 31, gave up a career high-tying nine runs in three innings.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl tight end Kyle Rudolph has retired after a 12-year career in the NFL he spent mostly with the Minnesota Vikings. Rudolph played last season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He caught Tom Brady’s last regular-season touchdown pass before injuring his knee in the final regular-season game. Rudolph was sidelined for the playoff game. He was not re-signed after becoming a free agent in the offseason. The Vikings are planning to honor him Sept. 24 during their home game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The second-round draft pick in 2011 played 10 years for the Vikings.
