When the Twins left Guaranteed Rate Field last Thursday, it appeared that they had left the AL Central Division title there for the White Sox.

And the Twins, playing without the sore-kneed Nelson Cruz, won their fourth straight game with a 7-6 victory over Detroit on Wednesday. The Twins now are one-half game ahead of the White...

BEMIDJI - During President Trump's rambling two hour speech in an airport hangar here in which he praised confederate general Robert E. Lee, bemoaned his own fate of having to make speeches in places like Bemidji, Minn., and played the usual favorites ("Lock her up!"), he also got around to the Supreme Court "The next (president) will have anywhere from one to four.
