ST. Colorado Avalanche Pro Shop . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- While the Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay Rays sit at the bottom of the standings in the American League, both clubs enter Fridays series opener playing some decent baseball.The Twins (43-65) dropped a 9-2 decision to the Cleveland Indians on Thursday afternoon but won the first three games of the four-game series against the AL Central leaders.The Rays (44-63) have won two straight, rallying for three runs in the eighth inning Thursday to defeat the Kansas City Royals 3-2.By coming back and continuing to battle, I think were showing what kind of character we have on this team, said Rays shortstop Brad Miller, whose three-run homer wiped out a 2-0 deficit. This hasnt been an easy season, but the guys in this clubhouse continue to fight every game and play hard.Minnesota, meanwhile, is streaking behind the hot bat of catcher Joe Mauer. The 2009 AL Most Valuable Player was 10-for-18 (.556) with five doubles, a triple and a home run during the four-game series against the Indians. He finished a home run shy of a cycle Tuesday during a 13-5 win over Cleveland.Ive been really staying on that back leg, driving the ball, Mauer said. Ive been a little bit more sore, but its been feeling good getting results.For the Rays, it is Miller providing the big bat. He has homered in the past two games. The surge began days after Tampa Bay acquired third baseman Matt Duffy from the San Francisco Giants at the trade deadline with the plan of making him the full-time shortstop. Duffy is on the disabled list due to strained left Achilles.So while Miller will have to change positions, likely to first base, his bat will still be in the lineup.I dont think they have kept me in the lineup to do me any sort of favors, Miller said. Ive earned my spot and earned the opportunity to play every day. I played shortstop (Thursday), and thats what I prepared for. Ill have to play wherever they move me.The Rays will send rookie left-hander Blake Snell (3-4, 3.08 ERA) to the mound for the series opener Friday.Snell has pitched more than five innings in each of his past seven starts and has won two of his past three, including a 5-3 victory against the New York Yankees on Sunday. In that start, he matched his career high with nine strikeouts, and he yielded two runs in 5 1/3 innings.He will oppose the Twins for the first time in his career.Minnesota will counter with right hander Ervin Santana, who has made three quality starts in a row and five in his past six outings. Santana (4-9, 3.66 ERA) won his last start on Sunday, a 6-4 victory against the Chicago White Sox, giving up three runs (one earned) over six innings.Santana lost his only start against the Rays this season, giving up five runs over six innings in a 7-4 loss at Target Field in June 4. In 16 career starts against Tampa Bay, he is 6-7 with a 5.48 ERA. Wholesale Avalanche Jerseys . 31, the CFL club announced Monday. The team also has yet to decide on the future of Doug Berry, who began the season as a consultant to the head coach but took over the offensive co-ordinators duties in July. Custom Colorado Avalanche Jerseys . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. https://www.cheapavalanche.com/ . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- John Collins doesnt need to stay on the court long to put up big numbers for Wake Forest.The 6-foot-10 sophomore had 22 points and 15 rebounds to help the Demon Deacons beat Charlotte 91-74 on Tuesday night, posting his fourth straight double-double.Collins has had foul trouble limiting his work, and his team-leading averages of 17.6 points and 10 rebounds had come with him averaging about 23 minutes per game.Sometimes I put myself in that situation, Collins said. Yeah I do wonder (what he could do with more minutes) but then again, I have to keep myself grounded and realize coach (Danny Manning) isnt just taking me out to take me out. Its me getting in foul trouble and something Ive got to work on.He had just one first-half foul as the Demon Deacons (7-2) ran out to an early double-digit lead and never looked back.This is one of the first games in a while
