TIPSHEET

KNOW THIS

The Twins already have six players with at least 70 runs batted in, and Max Kepler (68) could get there this weekend. But barring a crazy stretch from team leader Brian Dozier (90), none of them will reach 100.

WATCH THIS

Games 1 and 2 of the WNBA Finals were about as close as they could get, and Game 3 back in Los Angeles could be more of the same with the series tied 1-1. Lynx at Sparks, 8 p.m., ESPN2.

"Paul Molitor — take a lesson from Ron Gardenhire. Whenever the Twins would clinch a playoff spot, Gardenhire would give players plenty of time off to rest before playoffs. Game comes along and they play like they haven't seen a ball field before."
