MINNEAPOLIS -- Nelson Cruzs towering two-run home run seemed to give the Seattle Mariners the jolt they needed Saturday night, tying the score.Instead, Minnesotas own big slugger, Miguel Sano, responded with his own big swing and a big defensive play after an error in the ninth inning to keep Seattles struggling offense down and deal a blow to the Mariners wild-card hopes.Sano hit a tiebreaking homer in the fourth inning and Tyler Duffey pitched seven strong innings for his best start in more than a month as the Twins beat Seattle 3-2 on Saturday night.They hit a big homer there, Sano said. But I want the team win every day, and not a loss.Sanos 24th homer followed Cruzs tying shot in the top of the fourth. Cruzs homer reached the third deck in left field for what was estimated by ESPNs Home Run Tracker as 454 feet.Duffey (9-11) gave up the two runs and four hits while striking out four Seattle hitters. Its just the third win by a Minnesota starter since Sept. 3.Pitching, its amazing how it can change the complexion of the game, Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said.Jorge Polanco also had a solo home run for the Twins, who snapped a seven-game losing streak.The Mariners threatened in the ninth against Brandon Kintzler when Robinson Cano singled and Cruz reached on an error by Sano. But Kyle Seagers hard grounder was snared by Sano, who stepped on third and threw to first for a double play. Adam Lind flied out to end the game and give Kintzler his 15th save in 18 chances.Bad moment that I miss the ball, try to catch and throw early, Sano said. I told Polanco, I want another ball. Caught and make double play, finish the game there. This is the situation. My fault when I miss the ball, need to keep going.Ariel Miranda (5-2) lost for the first time in five starts this month, lasting four innings and giving up three runs and three hits. Seattle fell 2? games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card.Theyre all important, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Tonight was important, tomorrows important, the next ones important. Its just where we are in the season.The Mariners have struggled offensively even while winning 11 of their previous 15 games. Theyve scored two runs or fewer in six of their past eight games.The Twins have been in a similar stretch. Polancos third home run of the season in the first gave the team its first lead since last Saturday at the New York Mets.DUFFEYS ADJUSTMENTDuffey had allowed at least five earned runs in three of his past five starts, and the right-hander had his most recent start skipped due to an off day. He said he made an adjustment between starts.Like I told [Molitor] when I came out, You get pissed off enough, you eventually make an adjustment, Duffey said, later adding: Just slowing down. I finally found a good rhythm to keep me composed, to keep from pulling off the ball. I located a lot better today.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: 1B Joe Mauer was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game as he deals with sore quadriceps. Manager Paul Molitor said he would see how Mauer felt on Sunday to see if he could be in the lineup for the final home game of the season.UP NEXTMariners RHP Taijuan Walker (6-11, 4.32 ERA) starts against Santiago (12-9, 4.82). Walker gave up five runs in 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the Twins earlier this season. Santiago was 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA in two starts against the Mariners this season with the Los Angeles Angels. But Santiago has a 6.20 ERA in nine starts for Minnesota after being acquired in a trade.The Associated Press contributed to this report.? Adidas Store Basketball Shoes .

Hull and Sheffield Wednesday face off for a place in the Premier League in Saturdays Championship showdown, while the League One final pits Barnsley and Millwall on Sunday and Mondays League Two finale see Plymouth take on AFC Wimbledon.ChampionshipHull City v Sheffield Wednesday (Saturday from 4.00pm, Sky Sports 1HD) Sheffield Wednesday celebrated wildly in front of their fans after an aggregate win over Brighton Will it be the experience and strength in depth that Hull City have in abundance that will shine on the day or will it be the surprise package in Sheffield Wednesday, who have a little bit more flair about them? I cant wait to find out. Its going to be a fascinating game. I believe Hull could beat any Premier League side on their day. However, the only thing consistent about them is their inconsistency. They demolished Derby in the first leg and then wobbled badly in the second leg and scraped over the line. Curtis Davies is hoping Hulls previous Wembley experience will help with their Championship play-off final with Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday Sheffield Wednesday will look to play quick pass-and-move attacking football - is that the right way to unlock Steve Bruces defence? That back four is exceptional. Theres more than enough quality on both teams to turn a game with one bit of skill - Robert Snodgrass, Ross Wallace, Fernando Forresteri and Abel Hernandez to name just a few.

They started the season slowly but grew as the year went on and are peaking at just the right time. Highlights of the Sky Bet League One playoff semi-final second leg between Walsall and Barnsley The front two of Lee Gregory, whom I fancy to score first, and Steve Morison are among the best around as a duo.
