CLEVELAND (AP) - Jim Thome gave Cleveland fans one more memory,
and so did Carlos Santana, whose pinch-hit homer leading off the
bottom of the ninth gave the Indians a 6-5 victory over the
Minnesota Twins last night. Thome went 3 for 4 with three RBIs,
including a two-run homer, the 604th of his career, on a night he
was honored in pregame ceremonies.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Dany Heatley scored twice in his
Minnesota debut, including the winner in overtime to lead the Wild
to a 4-3 preseason victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets last
night. Josh Harding made 31 saves for the Wild, who also got goals
from Devin Setoguchi and Kristopher Foucault.
CLEVELAND (AP) - Minnesota Twins players Danny Valencia and
Denard Span are out of the lineup after being involved in a minor
traffic accident in Minneapolis. The players were traveling in
separate vehicles to the airport Thursday afternoon following the
Twins' victory over Seattle. The car driven by Valencia's fiancee
stopped in rush hour traffic and was rear-ended by Span's car.
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota Vikings receiver Percy
Harvin returned to practice yesterday and is listed as probable for
the game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Harvin missed
practice on Thursday because of an illness. But Harvin says it was
not related to migraine headaches that have caused him to miss time
in the past. He says he had a stomach ache and will be ready to go
against Detroit.
