Twins force playoff with Tigers
Jason Kubel hit two three-run home runs as the Minnesota Twins cruised to an easy 13-4 shellacking of the hapless Kansas City Royals. Across town (not really), the Detroit Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox and we now have a one-game playoff.

Of course, it will be played Tuesday at the Metrodome since it will be the Brettrodome on Monday night as the Packers come in to take on the Vikings.
Oddly, the one-game playoff will be in the form of a sword fight. No baseball will be played and one thing is sure: someone will die.
