To be clear, the Twins did not win, as Houston crushed Pablo Lopez before tossing Josh Winder and Kody Funderburk into an active volcano. It was a tough game for Minnesota pitching but the offense came to life in such a way that it almost made up for every mistake made on the mound.

Waterville community comes together in effort to recover from devastating floods
WATERVILLE, Minn. — There are no off days when recovering from a natural disaster."Everyday we're just chipping away, piece by piece, so that we can get this done," Amanda Sheridan, whose home was damaged from last month's flooding in Waterville, told WCCO News.

As the wood grew, it sucked carbon out of the air during photosynthesis; as biochar, that carbon becomes stable for hundreds of...
