Minnesota bounced back from a three-game losing streak in a big way Saturday afternoon, and now the Twins are seeking their biggest series victory of the season in Sundays finale against the Texas Rangers.The Twins (26-54) had a historic performance from Max Kepler, who drove in a club rookie record seven runs, blasting a pair of home runs -- including a three-run shot -- as Minnesota cruised to a 17-5 victory at Target Field.I think when you have a big day like today and you hit a couple over the fence, it bodes well mentally, Twins manager Paul Molitor said of Kepler.It was the Twins biggest offensive output since a 20-run outburst against Detroit on Aug. 22, 2014, and it left them with a chance to take a three-game set against the American League-leading Rangers (52-30).We set the tone in the first inning with our sloppy play, said Rangers manager Jeff Banister, whose team surrendered four runs in the frame. We couldnt get out of the first.Texas won the opener Friday, using an Ian Desmond solo homer in the 10th inning to claim a 3-2 victory.The Rangers now turn to staff ace Cole Hamels (9-1, 2.60 ERA) to stop the bleeding and stave off a fourth loss in the last five contests.The left-hander has been on a roll lately, going 4-0 with a 0.65 ERA in his last four starts. On Tuesday, Hamels tossed seven scoreless innings and struck out seven to silence the New York Yankees in a 7-1 victory.Unfortunately for Minnesota, home-field advantage likely wont have much of an impact on Hamels, who has won a Rangers record nine consecutive decisions in road starts. He is 6-0 with a 1.44 ERA on the road this year.Hamels is 1-0 with a 5.21 ERA in three career starts against Minnesota. Brian Dozier is the only Twins hitter with more than one hit off Hamels, going 2-for-5 with a double.Dozier extended his on-base streak to a major-league-leading 24 games with a second-inning walk Saturday.The news wasnt all good for Minnesota on Saturday, as it lost shortstop Eduardo Escobar to a left hamstring strain in the second inning after he sustained the injury when sliding into home an inning earlier.Twins manager Paul Molitor said Escobar would be re-evaluated Sunday.Kyle Gibson (1-5, 5.12 ERA) will be tasked with completing the Twins series victory, making his fourth career start against Texas.The right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA against the Rangers, and hes looking to build on an encouraging outing his last time out.Gibson pitched seven scoreless innings Tuesday in a 4-0 road win against the Chicago White Sox, allowing just five hits and a walk while fanning a season-high seven.He hadnt tossed a scoreless outing since last Sept. 30, a nine-strikeout performance over six innings at Cleveland.Elvis Andrus is 3-for-10 with a home run and two RBI against Gibson. Robinson Chirinos (4-for-5) has also taken Gibson deep. Prince Fielder and Adrian Beltre also have two hits apiece against Gibson.Manuel Margot Padres Jersey .

Rosberg kept his cool amid the chaos to win the crash-marred race on Sunday to give Mercedes its first victory of the season, as well as matching Keke Rosbergs Monaco victory from 1983 -- the year after Rosberg Sr. won his only F1 title. But Rosberg is only sixth in the overall standings and is still 60 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel. "I dont want to talk about (the title) at all," Rosberg said. "We should not get over-excited for the next couple of races. We still have a bit of an issue with our race pace, and also with the development race, everyone is pushing forward. So I am definitely not thinking of the championship, I am today just thinking about Monaco." He played down the emotional significance of matching his fathers achievement. "Its special, but honestly thats not what I was thinking of when I was crossing the finish line," Rosberg said. Still, he did enjoy the occasion of winning only his second career GP in the place where he spent much of his childhood growing up. "This is the most special race for me to win, it was incredible, unreal. That is what is special about the sport," Rosberg said. "When I was quite young watching this race, my first memory was Ayrton Senna with the yellow helmet in the red and white (car)." Rosberg began from pole position for the third straight GP, but he had to re-start three times after the race was held up by a safety car, a red flag and the safety car again. The German finished ahead of Vettel and his Red Bull teammate Mark Webber. Lewis Hamilton finished fourth after starting from second. The red flag came out with about 30 laps to go when Williams driver Pastor Maldonado was nudged into the wall by Marussias Max Chilton. Earlier, Ferraris Felipe Massa crashed and the safety car came out a second time when Frenchman Romain Grosjean smashed his Lotus into Daniel Ricciardos Toro Rosso. Grosjean was handed a 10-grid penalty point for the Canadian GP in two weeks time. After winning, the 27-year-old Rosberg danced on the bonnet of his car before jumping off to hug team members. Rosberg won his other race from polle at the China GP last year and his previous best result this season was fourth in Malaysia.dddddddddddd. They were useful points for three-time defending champion Vettel, who extended his lead at the top of the standings to 21 points over Kimi Raikkonen and 29 over Fernando Alonso, who failed to repeat his Spanish GP win from two weeks ago and could only manage seventh place. Raikkonen finished way down in 10th after being barged by McLarens Sergio Perez late on. "Im very happy and pleased with the result," said Vettel, who started from third on the grid. Crashes dominated as Monaco confirmed it is one of the most difficult tracks in F1. Chilton lost control and moved across into Maldonado on his side, sending the Venezuelan off the wall and into the crash barriers. Chiltons teammate Jules Bianchi was dragged into the crash but no driver was hurt. Massa, meanwhile, ploughed into the wall and slid across the track in a carbon-copy of his crash in Saturdays third practice. He was released from hospital after check-ups. It was eventful off the track, too. A little more than one hour before the race, Red Bull launched an official protest against Mercedes. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner demanded clarity as to why Mercedes was allowed to conduct in-season tire testing following the Spanish GP. Rosberg refused to answer questions about the issue in the post-race press conference. Early on, Frenchman Charles Pics race ended when he had to bank his Caterham onto the side of the track and quickly clamber out as flames started shooting up. He was unhurt. Hamilton had just pitted for new tires on Lap 30 when Massa crashed. As a result, when the safety car first came out, it was cruel on Hamilton, who then dropped behind Vettel and Webber -- last years winner -- and into fourth place when the race re-started. "I dont put it down to bad luck," said Hamilton, who is fourth overall and 45 points behind Vettel. "I wasnt good enough." Mini-battles raged everywhere before the red flag came out on Lap 46, and the race was halted for the third time on lap 62 after Grosjean lost control coming out of the tunnel. There was still time for another incident when Perez tried for the second time to get past Raikkonen on the inside and then failed to finish. They both blamed each other. ' ' '
