Im pleased that part of my brother is coming home, Howes sister, Helen Cummine, told CKOM Radio.Howes grandson, Corey Howe, recently moved to Saskatoon from Ohio and said he has been struck by how many people he meets have a tale to tell about his grandfather.They just light up. Theyve got a Gordie Howe story and they just pour out their hearts and their love for my grandpa, he said. I can only stand there and say how important he was to me, as well, and how special it is to be a part of it.Other activities on Sunday will be centered around the Saskatoon Blades Western Hockey League home opener.The team will wear special commemorative jerseys and the concourse at SaskTel Centre will feature artwork featuring Howe and display trophies he won during his career.Howe spent 26 seasons in the National Hockey League and six in the World Hockey Association. He is still No. 2 on the NHLs goals list behind Wayne Gretzky.Yadier Molina Jersey . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. Jason Motte Jersey . Malkin got tangled up with Detroits Luke Glendening early in the third period and his left skate took the brunt of collision with the boards behind Pittsburghs net. http:///...-Gibson-Kids-Jersey/ . -- Timbers coach Caleb Porter didnt stray from his business-like approach to the season even after Portland downed the two-time defending league champion Los Angeles Galaxy to gain crucial playoff position. MINNEAPOLIS -- Brian Dozier can only do so much. The Minnesota Twins, already hamstrung by poor pitching, have lost their way at the plate, too.Matt Boyd breezed through eight innings, backed by home runs from James McCann and Miguel Cabrera as the Detroit Tigers beat the Twins 8-1 on Tuesday night to step forward to cut the deficit between them and the second AL wild card spot to 1 1/2 games.Boyd (6-4) bounced back from an 8-1 defeat by the Twins at home last week, giving up a homer to Robbie Grossman in the seventh among only three hits allowed. He matched his career best with seven strikeouts and walked just one, after being pounded by Minnesota for seven runs in 3 2/3 innings on Sept. 13.Dozier had a lonely leadoff single in the bottom of the first and stole second base with none out, only to be stranded. Max Kepler walked in the second inning and was quickly caught stealing. Then Boyd retired 14 straight batters until Grossman went deep with one out in the seventh.He was on tonight, and youve got to tip your hat to him, said Twins center fielder Byron Buxton.The Twins, who allowed eight or more runs for the 39th time in this awful season, have scored just five times in the last four games. With Trevor Plouffe, Eddie Rosario, Miguel Sano and Joe Mauer injured, the Twins have lost some punch.You can tell that some of the guys who arent used to playing this long into the season, maybe taking a little bit of a toll, but youve got to try to find a way to finish as strongly as you can, manager Paul Molitor said.Hector Santiago (12-9), who lost for the first time in his last five starts, wasnt exactly a hard-luck loser. He gave up a three-run shot into second deck above left-center in a four-run sixth to McCann. Cabrera hit his 34th homer the following inning, a two-run drive against Michael Tonkin.Detroit played without designated hitter Victor Martinez (bruised knee) and second baseman Ian Kinsler (concussion-like symptoms), both having been hit by pitches from Clevelands Trevor Bauer on Sunday.You take away two pitches, I think its a different game, said Santiago, who lasted 5 1/3 innings.MIGGY CAN MOVECabrera started the fourth innning by crushing a double to right field, sliding in to beat the throw. Brett Cecil Jersey. . The hulking power hitter hustled to advance a base on a flyout to medium-range center field. Then he rumbled home for a 2-0 lead on a groundout to third, sneaking his foot underneath catcher John Ryan Murphys tag after the throw home to try to get the double play.We had three chances to throw out Cabrera. I dont know if you ever see that, Molitor said.Santiago teasingly shouted, What are you doing? to Cabrera when he backed up third on the tag-up throw.I think he caught everybody off guard, Santiago said.Cabrera is batting .375 in 32 at-bats over seven games at Target Field this season, all Tigers victories, with five doubles, three homers, seven runs and six RBI.STILL STREAKINGDozier stretched his hitting streak to 23 straight games, the longest for the Twins in nine years since Torii Hunter had one of the same length and the fourth-longest in the major leagues this season.Its just one of those things where he keeps finding a way to get it done, said Molitor, who was booed when he pulled Dozier for a pinch hitter in the ninth.ROSARIO WONT RETURNRosario was diagnosed with a broken left thumb after diving into first base trying to beat out a grounder in the game on Saturday, and hell need six weeks to recover. After a rough start that led to his demotion to Triple-A in May, Rosario rebounded and became one of nine Twins players to reach 10 home runs. This is the first year theyve had that many since 2004.TRAINERS ROOMSano (sore back) missed his seventh straight game, but hes been taking groundballs and batting practice and should be able to play this week. Mauer was given another rest for his ailing quadriceps.UP NEXTRHP Buck Farmer (0-0, 4.07 ERA in 13 relief appearances) will make his first start of the season for the Tigers on Wednesday night. Twins RHP Jose Berrios (2-7, 8.88 ERA) will take the mound for the 13th time. He finished only four innings in his last turn, but the rookie allowed two runs to match a season low.
