Air Max 95 For Sale Ireland .The Twins (26-54) had a historic performance from Max Kepler, who drove in a club rookie record seven runs, blasting a pair of home runs -- including a three-run shot -- as Minnesota cruised to a 17-5 victory at Target Field.I think when you have a big day like today and you hit a couple over the fence, it bodes well mentally, Twins manager Paul Molitor said of Kepler.It was the Twins biggest offensive output since a 20-run outburst against Detroit on Aug. 22, 2014, and it left them with a chance to take a three-game set against the American League-leading Rangers (52-30).We set the tone in the first inning with our sloppy play, said Rangers manager Jeff Banister, whose team surrendered four runs in the frame. We couldnt get out of the first.Texas won the opener Friday, using an Ian Desmond solo homer in the 10th inning to claim a 3-2 victory.The Rangers now turn to staff ace Cole Hamels (9-1, 2.60 ERA) to stop the bleeding and stave off a fourth loss in the last five contests.The left-hander has been on a roll lately, going 4-0 with a 0.65 ERA in his last four starts. On Tuesday, Hamels tossed seven scoreless innings and struck out seven to silence the New York Yankees in a 7-1 victory.Unfortunately for Minnesota, home-field advantage likely wont have much of an impact on Hamels, who has won a Rangers record nine consecutive decisions in road starts. He is 6-0 with a 1.44 ERA on the road this year.Hamels is 1-0 with a 5.21 ERA in three career starts against Minnesota. Brian Dozier is the only Twins hitter with more than one hit off Hamels, going 2-for-5 with a double.Dozier extended his on-base streak to a major-league-leading 24 games with a second-inning walk Saturday.The news wasnt all good for Minnesota on Saturday, as it lost shortstop Eduardo Escobar to a left hamstring strain in the second inning after he sustained the injury when sliding into home an inning earlier.Twins manager Paul Molitor said Escobar would be re-evaluated Sunday.Kyle Gibson (1-5, 5.12 ERA) will be tasked with completing the Twins series victory, making his fourth career start against Texas.The right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA against the Rangers, and hes looking to build on an encouraging outing his last time out.Gibson pitched seven scoreless innings Tuesday in a 4-0 road win against the Chicago White Sox, allowing just five hits and a walk while fanning a season-high seven.He hadnt tossed a scoreless outing since last Sept. 30, a nine-strikeout performance over six innings at Cleveland.Elvis Andrus is 3-for-10 with a home run and two RBI against Gibson. Robinson Chirinos (4-for-5) has also taken Gibson deep. Prince Fielder and Adrian Beltre also have two hits apiece against Gibson. Cheap Air Max 95 Wholesale . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season.

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. http://www.airmax95cheapireland.com/ .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. GULLANE -- If Scandinavia is to celebrate a first-ever major winner, "The Iceman" will need to stay solid in the Muirfield heat this weekend. Henrik Stenson has gone under the radar at the British Open this week but two rounds of 1-under 70 left the rejuvenated Swede tied with Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods and probably in a late group on Saturday. Stenson is fondly remembered as the man who stripped down to his underwear to play a shot from near a water hazard at a CA Championship at Doral in 2009. And for winning The Players Championship the same year by blowing away Tiger Woods with a final-round 66. On Sunday, he could write a whole new chapter. "Im up there and playing in a big tournament again," said Stenson, who placed third at the Open in 2008 and 10. "I think Ive got the experience to do well in these championships." Stensons oscillating career is back on an upward slope. After that victory at TPC Sawgrass, he was No. 4 in the world and had top-10 finishes at the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship that year. As recently as 18 months ago, he was down to No. 230 and despairing about his game. In the depths of the second slump of his 15-year pro career, Stenson turned to sports psychologist Torsten Hansson and the decision has worked out well. He is one of the most consistent players on the European Tour this season and finished tied for third at last weeks Scottish Open, a three-hoour drive north of Muirfield on the Highland links.

"Tough conditions are something that I enjoy and suits my game," said Stenson, who is now ranked No. 30. "Obviously with the two rounds in red figures, Im keeping it, scoring-wise, pretty tight and not making too many mistakes. I felt like Ive played the course pretty conservative, but still done well out of it for the first two days." In Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg and Mats Wilander, Sweden hasnt been short of grand-slam champions in tennis but major wins in golf has so far been elusive for the nation, and for Scandinavia as a whole. Jesper Parnevik of Sweden was runner-up in 1994 -- when he lost out to fast-finishing Nick Price at Turnberry -- and 97. And few will forget Danish player Thomas Bjorns collapse at Royal St. Georges in 2003 when he was two up with three to play but took three shots to get out of a greenside bunker at No. 16 and lost to Ben Curtis. "Thats all Im thinking, no ones won it!" Stenson said of the Scandinavian major drought. "Obviously I would like to be the first Swede or Scandinavian to win a major. "But weve got some work to do before we talk about that. Id rather talk about how that feels on Sunday, if it happens." ' ' '
