ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It seemed unlikely that slumping Carlos Gomez would follow through on hitting a home run for his son. He had struck out three times in his first four hitless at-bats. His last trip to the plate, however, produced something special. Gomez hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays completed a three-game sweep Sunday by beating the Minnesota Twins 8-6. “He had a really good game (Saturday) playing soccer,” Gomez said. “They won

Brian Sandifer’s always dreamed of a shot at playing professional football. That path has had zigs, zags and plot twists. It also had seven years of wondering if he’d ever get that opportunity. Now — in his late 20s — Sandifer, who finished up his eligibility as a wide receiver last fall at UW-Stout, is back on the trail. The physical 6-foot-4, 215-pound target has made himself visible to scouts from the NFL, Canadian Football League and Arena Football League since

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota’s slow-to-develop, up-and-down defense has finally started to shine, against this high-octane Houston team no less. There’s been no wait quite like the one for a win by the Timberwolves in the playoffs, though. Jimmy Butler hit four 3-pointers among his 28 points and Karl-Anthony Towns snapped back from a bad start to the series with 18 points and 16 rebounds, leading the Timberwolves past the Rockets 121-105 in Game 3 on Saturday night for their
