MINNEAPOLIS -- Miguel Sano has returned to the Minnesota Twins, the experiment with making him a right fielder likely over.The Twins recalled Sano on Friday from his rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Rochester, after a 27-game absence because of a strained left hamstring. He was in the lineup at third base against the Texas Rangers, batting third.Ive been working my whole life to be playing third base, and I feel really excited, Sano said before the game.So hes glad to be done with the outfield?Yeah, Im happy, Sano said.Manager Paul Molitor said hell use Sano at both third base and designated hitter, where Trevor Plouffe was slotted against the Rangers. There will be more at-bats to go around, because Byung Ho Park was sent to the Triple-A club to make room on the roster. Park, in his first season in the majors after dominating the Korean Baseball Organization, was hitting .191 with 12 home runs and 24 RBI with a team-high 80 strikeouts in 215 at-bats.Weve all been impressed by his character and the way hes fit in and the work hes done to try to acclimate himself, not only to our team but to our culture, but its just been rough, Molitor said. I think its been really, really tough on him mentally to deal with some of the frustration that came particularly over the last three or four weeks. While hes understanding and certainly accepting of the situation, hes going to have to go down there and hopefully lessen the burden a little bit.Park, who turns 30 next week, went 9 for 66 in 19 games in June.Hes got to clear some of that clutter and kind of simplify it a little bit, Molitor said. That was kind of my message to him this morning. Go back to what you know. You might have to make some adjustments, but dont try to overhaul anything and hopefully get yourself back on track.Sano hit .235 with 11 home runs, 27 RBI and 71 strikeouts in 179 at-bats before the injury, with a .341 on-base percentage. The Twins tried the 6-foot-4, 260-pound Sano in right field to start the season because of a roster crunch at third base (Plouffe), first base (Joe Mauer) and designated hitter (Park).Sano was hurt running to first base after an at-bat, but he had many more adventures at his new position than he did highlights. Plus, another one of the organizations top prospects, Max Kepler, has settled in as the regular right fielder.If get into a situation where I would have to put him in the outfield I would consider that, Molitor said. Thats not really my preference right now.Sano had four hits, including two homers, in 25 at-bats for Rochester. He also let an infield pop-up bounce off his head that was caught by a teammate, a blooper that subjected him to plenty of ribbing from the Twins. But he was just glad to be back.It doesnt matter where they put me to play, Sano said. Ill try to play my game. Andrew Adams Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers need a spark after another loss at Lambeau Field.The Indianapolis Colts jolted their confidence after a tone-setting 99-yard return for a touchdown by Jordan Todman on the opening kickoff. The Packers never quite looked like themselves until the frantic fourth quarter.But an 18-point deficit with 9:35 left was too much to overcome in a 31-26 loss on Sunday to the Colts.Indianapolis jumped on us from the first play and we frankly never got it back, coach Mike McCarthy said.The Packers (4-4) need to find answers quickly ahead of what could be a season-defining, three-game road swing starting next week at Tennessee. A team considered to be one of the top contenders in the NFC has a .500 record at midseason.Were 4-4. Played a lot of good football, thats the fact of the matter. But you are what your record is, McCarthy said.He felt his team had a great week of practice leading into Sundays game. Todmans return seemed to be a buzz-killer.The offense overcame a slow start with two touchdowns with a 4-plus minute span of the fourth quarter. Randall Cobbs 3-yard touchdown catch from Aaron Rodgers with 3:29 left got Green Bay within five.The Colts came up with two third-down conversions on the ensuing drive to put the game away.If only the Packers had more energy earlier in the game.You kind of felt it over the entire sideline. We didnt have the same kind of enthusiasm and encouragement that we had the previous two weeks, Rodgers said. So weve got to look deep in the mirror there, because thats just not acceptable.Safety HHa Ha Clinton-Dix had two interceptions in the first quarter, which the Packers turned into 10 points.dddddddddddd Rodgers found Jordy Nelson for a 26-yard touchdown pass at the end of the first quarter to make it 14-10.But Green Bay managed just 32 yards on nine plays on the next two series of the second quarter, with both drives ending in punts. The Colts ended the first half with an impressive 15-play, 91-yard drive that ended with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Donte Moncrief for a 24-10 lead with 11 seconds left in the quarter.We got outplayed in the first half, big time, veteran right tackle Bryan Bulaga said. We just didnt play well enough and thats pretty much all I can say.Game notes Rodgers said he had his left foot stepped on pretty hard. I mean, thats a common frustration from time to time, just getting stepped on really badly. Its fine. ... Cobb, who was questionable for the game with a hamstring injury, did not play until the second half. I took a conservative approach with him. I was going to use him only when we needed him. Obviously, we needed him in the second half and he gave us everything hes got. Hopefully, he came out clean, McCarthy said. ... S Micah Hyde (shoulder) left the game in the fourth quarter. ... It was 68 degrees at kickoff, a record high for Green Bay and the warmest November home game for the Packers since 1959.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys[/urlleft the game in the fourth quarter. ...rseys Wholesale Basketball Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
