MINNEAPOLIS - After an inconsistent season, Kyle Gibson is finishing strong.Gibson matched a career high with eight strikeouts, Chris Parmelee hit a two-run single after entering the game for an injured Joe Mauer, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-3 on Tuesday night.Obviously, Id like to have eight or 10 more of those kind of outings this year, but unfortunately, I didnt, Gibson said. Its been some ups and downs, thats for sure. You guys have seen it. But I definitely want to finish on a good note.Gibson (13-11) might even end up influencing the AL Central pennant race. Hes set to start the season finale against Detroit on Sept 28.Trevor Plouffe added four singles and Aaron Hicks two hits and an RBI for the Twins, who won for the 67th time, their highest total since 2010After getting hit in the right elbow by Andrew Chafin (0-1) in the first inning, Mauer played defence in the second before coming out with a bruised elbow. The Twins say he is day to day.Parmelee hit in Mauers spot and singled down the left-field line to drive in Hicks and Eduardo Escobar, giving Minnesota a 3-0 lead in the second.He comes up in a big situation and rolls one down the line, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. Thats what guys have to do. Be ready off the bench.That was plenty of support for Gibson, who allowed one run in seven innings and won for just the second time in his last eight starts.Chafin gave up four runs on seven hits and was removed after the first two batters he faced in the fourth reached base.Overall a good experience for him. Hes been up here for three starts, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. Its about fastball command. I know Hark (pitching coach Mike Harkey) talked to him after he came out of the game about that. He needs to have a good off-season and be ready to pitch next year.Ender Inciarte lined his fourth single of the game to score Cody Ross and make it 6-3 in the ninth before Jared Burton got A.J. Pollack to ground out with runners on first and second to end it.RYANS HEALTHTwins general manager Terry Ryan, who stepped back from his post for a few months earlier this year to focus on radiation treatment for a form of cancer found in his neck, said his health wont affect his status beyond this season. He has lost some weight and had trouble tasting food but otherwise has fared well since completing the radiation treatment.If I couldnt do the job, Id walk away, Ryan said, adding: Im not worried about having the physical ability and the time to be able to do this job.As for the Diamondbacks, theyre in the midst of a general manager search, having fired Kevin Towers earlier this month.TRAINERS ROOMDIAMONDBACKS: DH Aaron Hill is day to day after dislocating the top of his right pinky finger while sliding headfirst into home plate in the eighth inning Monday night. Paul Goldschmidt (fractured hand) felt good Tuesday after taking 40 lights swings on Monday. Matt Reynolds (elbow) was scheduled to pitch in an instructional league game Tuesday. Patrick Corbin (elbow) and David Hernandez (elbow) each threw from 75 feet for 6 minutes on Monday.TWINS: Gardenhire hopes to get Tommy Milone, who hasnt pitched since Sept. 2 because of a neck injury, some work out of the bullpen later this week.I know hed like to pitch. Were going to try to find a way to do it, Gardenhire said.UP NEXTVidal Nuno (0-6, 3.78) starts for Arizona in Wednesday afternoons series finale.

Midway through Game 3, the Babe pointed to centre field while at the plate against Charlie Root. The ensuing home run on the next pitch has become one of the most talked about moments in baseball history.This is what the moment would have looked like had the Babe and Root been tweeting as the events transpired.STEVE BARTMAN INCIDENTFor modern day Cubs fans, this moment is as bad as anything that the team has done in their lifetimes. The Cubs were facing the Marlins in the 03 NLCS, up 3-0 in the 8th inning with a 3-2 series lead. Marlins second basemen Luis Castillo hit a pop up down the left field line and left fiielder Moises Alou tracked it as it faded towards the Wrigley bleachers.dddddddddddd What transpired next will still make cubs fans shake their head. A Cubs fan by the name of Steve Bartman reached out as the fall was coming down and disrupted Alou from trying to make the catch. We have seen this happen countless times as foul balls head into the stands, but the stakes of this game made this so much more painful. The Cubs went on to blow the game and lose their shot at their first NL pennant since 1945. Everyone wants to catch a foul ball - but few suspect that it will change their lives. Lets take a look at what it would have looked like for Bartman if he was live tweeting the events on that fateful night. ' ' '
