Rare blip by Twins reliever Jhoan Duran leads to series finale loss in Baltimore

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:30:56 GMT

BALTIMORE — One run, a fantastic start from their starting pitcher and scoreless innings from relievers Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran was a winning recipe for the Twins on Saturday. The Twins tried to go back to that same recipe on Sunday, but this time, well, it didn’t quite work.Starter Sonny Gray was fantastic through six innings and Jax did his part, too, but the normally-reliable Duran faltered in the eighth inning, giving up a pair of runs as the Baltimore Orioles took the series finale 2-1.After striking out the first batter he faced in the eighth, Duran allowed a softly-hit single to Adley Rutschman. Anthony Santander followed by smoking a single to cap off a nine-pitch at-bat before Aaron Hicks brought home the Oroles’ first run of the day with a single to center.A nice stop by Alex Kirilloff at first base saved Duran — momentarily. But after falling behind 3-0 in the count to the next batter, Ryan O’Hearn, the Twins put him on base. Duran promptly hit Jordan Westburg with a ...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:30:56 GMT

PEBBLE BEACH – In August 2004, Mina Harigae sat down for an interview with The Monterey Herald. Then 14 years old, the Monterey native – who’s now halfway through her 13th season on the LPGA Tour – reflected on her golfing career.“Next year I want to win the U.S. Junior,” she said, just ahead of starting her freshman year at Stevenson School in Pebble Beach. “That is my goal. And make the U.S. Women’s Amateur quarterfinals. (I) want to win at least one (American Junior Golf Association) event, or junior nationals. Later on I want to go pro. College? Maybe I’ll go one year or two.”It wasn’t an exact premonition, but her aspirations were hardly unrealistic.Harigae has been golfing professionally since 2009, making her one of the few players – male or female – to come off the Peninsula and make it at the pro level. Though the 33-year-old has never won on the LPGA Tour, she’s repeatedly fought her way into the mix with the sport’s top women, especially in the past three years.Enjoying a...
