MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Sonny Gray compiled a season-high 10 strikeouts over seven sharp innings, carrying the Minnesota Twins past the Detroit Tigers 2-0 for their sixth straight victory. Gray allowed four hits and one walk in by far his best of six starts with his new team. The Twins are 23-8 since April 21. They have won each of the last four games with Gray on the mound after he returned from a strained hamstring. Gio Urshela had three hits and an RBI, and Carlos Correa hit an RBI double for the Twins against Tigers rookie Beau Brieske.

 

 

OMAHA — Sitting on the NCAA Tournament bubble the Iowa Hawkeyes open the Big Ten baseball tournament this evening in Omaha against Penn State. The third seeded Hawkeyes are 33-17 and coach Rick Heller believes they still could get into an NCAA regional without winning the tournament.

Heller says the Hawkeyes control their own fate.

The Hawkeyes have boosted their RPI in recent weeks and right now sit in the mid-50s.

Sixth seeded Penn State finished the regular season 25-27 after suffering a three game sweep at the hands of Illinois.

The winner advances to play Thursday against the winner of the game between second seeded Purdue and Rutgers, but the schedule could change due to weather in the Omaha area. The first two games originally scheduled for today have already been moved to Thursday morning due to the weather.
