Tannehill blows out his knee and the Teddy rumors fly:

Twins bats get hot and Colon goes the distance vs the Rangers:

Dozier led the game off tonight with another solo HR. It is his 18th HR of the year. The Twins didn’t look back from there, getting 3 more in the 1st inning alone. Grossman., Dozier, and Mauer all had multiple hits.

Lindsey Whalen breaks her hand, has surgery:

The Lynx took a hit today when Lindsey Whalen had surgery on a fractured bone in her hand. Whalen is a beloved sports figure in Minnesota from her days at the U to leading the Lynx to WNBA Titles. Her timetable is unclear.
