Six lead changes, five ties, four errors, two blown saves, 25 runners left on base and at least four botched double plays. The series finale between the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins was about as ugly as it gets, until Gerald Laird and Jose Valverde finally put an end to a game that seemed like it was never going to finish.

One day after expressing frustration at how second baseman Orlando Hudson has dealt with his most recent injury—a right ankle tweak that the infielder has insisted is in playing shape when it hasn't been—manager Ron Gardenhire left Hudson out of the starting lineup even though Hudson again told him he was ready to play. Gardenhire also had Hudson, who is day-to-day, undergo an MRI tha

Danny Valencia is a rookie who doesn't lack confidence. Consider the T-shirt the proud University of Miami product was wearing after the game, blaring "The 'U' invented swagger" on the front. Minnesota's up-and-coming third baseman couldn't have expected to do this well, though.

Divorces can be such ugly affairs. Take the one Frank and Jamie McCourt are going through right now in a Los Angeles courtroom. Just a few days into their trial, there have already been tales of tears and fears as they battle for control of what turns out to be one highly leveraged baseball team. There's a lot at stake there, namely the future of what used to be a proud franchise.

Sluggish throughout a homestand opener against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night, the Minnesota Twins never needed their bullpen more. Matt Guerrier, Randy Flores, Jesse Crain and Matt Capps came through in a huge way for the Twins, showing perhaps the biggest reason they hold such a big lead over the Tigers with one month to play.
