on veteran forwards Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Pe

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Eddie Rosarios calculated guess paid off for the Minnesota Twins.Rosario turned around a hanging changeup for a pinch-hit two-run homer that put the Twins ahead in the seventh inning, and they beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 on Friday night.I was just hoping for a hit to maybe get even, manager Paul Molitor said, and he gave me more than I could ask for.The Rays led 2-1 when the left-handed hitting Rosario batted for Byron Buxton with Eduardo Escobar on base against right-hander Erasmo Ramirez and one out.Im looking for a breaking ball, changeup, but every pinch hitter goes up aggressive to home plate, said Rosario, who has two-run homers in both of his pinch-hit at-bats this season.When the pitching coach is talking to the pitcher, I think hes telling him not to throw me a fastball on the first pitch.Ramirez (7-9) left a changeup in the zone, and Rosario hit it out for his seventh homer and a 3-2 lead.Miguel Sano homered and had three hits for the Twins, who have won seven of nine.Sano got his 16th homer off Ramirez in the eighth. Joe Mauer drove in two more runs with a double in the ninth.Brad Millers solo homer off starter Ervin Santana gave the Rays a 2-1 lead in the sixth. It was the fifth homer in seven games for Miller and his 20th of the season.The loss snapped the Rays streak of giving up three runs or fewer in 10 straight games.We didnt capitalize on some opportunities, Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. We let the game get away, left too many pitches up in the zone that those guys can handle, and the ball left the ballpark.Santana (5-9) struck out eight in 6 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on six hits.Mauers two hits raised his average to .402 in 31 career games at Tropicana Field.Brian Dozier drove in the Twins first run with a third-inning triple. Dozier stretched his hitting streak to 14 games, the longest active streak among AL players.Rays starter Blake Snell gave up one run on four hits while striking out seven in 5 1/3 innings.DAMAGED GOODS?Lucius Fox, a shortstop prospect acquired from the San Francisco Giants in a trade for left-hander Matt Moore on Monday, has a bruised left foot, the Rays confirmed. The Tampa Bay Times reported the Rays were not informed of Foxs injury by the Giants, and Tampa Bay may seek additional compensation from San Francisco as a result. The Times said Foxs injury could cost him the rest of the minor league season.NO MORE MOCKSThe Twins, who started the season 11-34, would move out of the AL basement with a sweep of the weekend series.We were being somewhat mocked about (being) on pace to set the all-time record for losses, and I understand why people enjoy doing those things when the season goes up in smoke early, Molitor said.SWITCHING SPOTSMiller had his first workout at first base with coach Tom Foley after moving from shortstop due to Tampa Bays acquisition Monday of Matt Duffy from San Francisco. Teammates Chris Archer and Evan Longoria took flips covering first after grounders hit to Miller. The switch could come next week when Duffy is expected back from a left Achilles tendon strain.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: 3B Trevor Plouffe played an entire game at third base Friday night in his fourth rehab game at Triple-A Rochester. He could be activated as early as Monday.Rays: OF Desmond Jennings was out of the lineup due to knee soreness. ... Cash said reports were very impressive on RHP Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery), who allowed one earned run over three innings in his second start Thursday night for Class A Charlotte after shutting down his rehab assignment 2 1/2 weeks ago because of fatigue.UP NEXTTwins: RHP Jose Berrios will make his second start since being recalled from Rochester.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks meet Tuesday night, looking as much to reacquaint themselves with West Coast hockey as to get their early struggles straightened out.The Sharks play for the first time at SAP Center since opening night on Oct. 12 when San Jose beat Los Angeles 2-1. The Sharks have been on the road ever since, capping a 2/3 trip on Saturday with a 3-0 loss at Detroit.The Ducks, who opened the season with four straight losses during a five-game trip, beat Vancouver 4-2 on Sunday at Honda Center before climbing right back on a plane.San Jose and Anaheim have combined to play 10 of its first 12 games away. Tuesday marks the first of three in a row at home for the Sharks while the Ducks will play as hosts five of the next six after Tuesday.Both are taking the opportunity of home cooking to tweak how theyve gone about things thus far. For the Sharks, that means new forward-line combinations, and the Ducks are looking to spark a slow-starting power play.San Jose coach Peter DeBoer will have offseason acquisition Mikkel Boedkers added speed on the left wing alongside center Joe Thornton and captain Joe Pavelski. Former top-liner Tomas Hertl moves to center to play with wingers Patrick Marleau and Matt Nieto.In addition, right winger Joel Ward joins center Logan Couture and Joonas Donskoi, and Chris Tierney will center a fourth group including Melker Karlsson and Tommy Wingels.Its not a panic situation or anything, I think youre always looking for ways to get the most out of your group, DeBoer told CSN Bay Area. Our four-line game hasnt been where I want it to be.Defenseman Brent Burns is off to a fast start offensively. He has three goals and nine points to share the league scoring lead with Edmontons Connor McDavid before Mondays play. Pavelski has two goals and seven points and Couture and Thornton have five points apiece.There are nights where we handle the puck well and make some passes and keep it pretty simple. Weve had success on those nights, Pavelski told the San Jose Mercury News. You just have to understand the recipe. ... Theres really no shortcuts around it.In addition, San Joses power play contributeed a goal in each of its first three games, but is 0 of 8 in the last three outings.dddddddddddd Overall, the Sharks are 3 of 20 on the power play as are the Ducks. Both teams look to get their special teams going.When you look at the history of the group, I dont any doubt theyre going to have success, DeBoer told CSN Bay Area. It hasnt started the way we wanted, the puck hasnt gone in and were pressing a little bit now, but that will turn around.I think that mimics our five-on-fove play a little bit. Were creating some chances but not winning. Weve got to find a way to stick some pucks in the net.The Ducks put defenseman Shea Theodore, a recent call-up, on the power play to add a spark and the group responded with a 1-of-2 effort during a win over the Canucks. The power play is one area that Anaheim is missing hold-out restricted free agent Hampus Lindholm.We know Shea Theodore has that ability, offensive instincts and whatnot to run a power play, Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle told the Orange County Register. Right now, he gives us that option of not taxing Cam (Fowler) and Sami Vatanen. To play the full two minutes of a power play, thats tough. Plus to play a regular shift, plus theyre getting some penalty-killing time.At even strength, the Ducks rely as usual on veteran forwards Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, who are joined by Nick Richie on left wing. Getzlaf leads the team with eight points on the strength of seven assists.Perry, who is next, has three goals and five points. His next point will be career No. 670 and will make Perry third on the franchise list in points behind Teemu Selanne (988) and Getzlaf (749).Getzlaf, the captain, sees his team gaining momentum.Weve been building, Getzlaf told the teams website. It started in the second period against the Islanders (Oct. 16, a 3-2 shootout loss). Weve started to build something from there.Anaheim, which plays San Jose three times between Nov. 26-Dec. 27, won the last three meetings between the teams last year after losing its 2015-16 season opener to the Sharks.
