Minneapolis: the Minesota Twins got some help from Tampa Bay earlier Monday when Tampa Bay beat Detroit 11-7. Meanwhile at the Metrodome it was a battle between two AL Central rivals, The Twins and the
White Sox. The White Sox were coming out of a three game sweep at

Meanwhile in baseball, the New York Yankees rolled over the Baltimore Orioles with a final score of 5-1 at Camden Yards. The Yankees have the best record in the East with 95 wins.
