Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

-- Twins 20, Tigers 6-- Detroit trails the Royals by 2.5 games in AL Central.

-- Mariners 5, Red Sox 3-- Seattle was down 3-0 with two out in ninth, rallied for an uplifting win. Boston signed Rusney Castillo for seven years, $72.5M.

-- Pirates 6, Brewers 2-- Jeff Locke threw six innings, allowed two runs, two hits, with six walks, no strikeouts and still won. Very unusual.

-- Rays 8, Blue Jays 0-- Smyly is 2-1, 2.25 in four starts for the Rays.

-- A's 5, Angels 3-- Oakland is 33-7 when Coco Crisp scores a run, 42-45 in all its other games. Angels still lead AL West by a game.

-- Orioles 3B Manny Machado needs a knee operation, is out for the year.

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: My suggestions for Rob Manfred..........

13) Geographic realignment. Bud Selig wanted to do this, but got rebuffed on it. Too bad. Here is the way I would re-align the divisions:

East
Red Sox
Mets
Bronx
Phillies
Blue Jays

Great Lakes
Reds
Indians
Tigers
Twins
Pirates

Southeast
Braves
Orioles
Marlins
Rays
Nationals

Midwest
Cubs
White Sox
Royals
Brewers
Cardinals

Mountain
Diamondbacks
Rockies
Astros
Mariners
Rangers

Pacific
Angels
Dodgers
A's
Padres
Giants

12) The schedule.........
72 games-- Play four division rivals 18 times each......
60 games-- Six games against other 10 teams in conference
30 games-- Six games against five teams in division in the other conference, which alternates every year.

11) Leave pace of play alone, it is not a problem, except for the media. One of baseball’s strengths is that it doesn’t have a clock, it makes it unique. If you have to do something to speed up games, eliminate visits to the mound within a half-inning.

10) With that in mind, coaches do not come on the field during games; no stalling on the mound; you want to change pitches, just sub him like it was a basketball game. Call time, signal the new guy in.

9) Players are only people who should wear uniforms; why do baseball coaches wear uniforms anyway?

8) No activity is washed out; if game gets rained out in second inning, you pick it up from the point of interruption. Anything that happens counts.

7) All-Star Game goes to a USA vs World format; this would increase the competitiveness of the game, believe me. Home field in World Series is decided by who wins season series between Eastern and Western Conference.

6) Move trade deadline back to August 31; with second Wild Card, not many teams are out of contention by July 31. Trading creates interest.

5) Would it be too much to ask for all the warm weather/dome teams to play at home the first week each season? It won't be something that eliminates rainouts, but it should help reduce them.

4) Get rid of the designated hitter. Placate the players’ union with an increase of 60 jobs; go to 27-man rosters, but only increase rosters to 33 after September 1.

3) There is a place for the DH; spring training and All-Star games. DH would be optional for spring games, but since outcomes don’t matter, teams could use it to get guys more at-bats. As for the All-Star Game, no one wants to see a pitcher bat in one of those.

2) Its OK to imitate a good idea. Have managers throw the red flag for replay reviews, instead of going out on the field. Its just simpler. Overall, I like the replay system, but having managers go out there to stall to see if they want to challenge a play doesn’t seem right. Just use the flag system.

1) This is very important and probably the least likely thing to happen: $80M salary floor, $160M salary cap. Imagine how great the sport would be with more competitive balance, like in NFL or NBA or the NFL. Teams should be able to retain their own home-grown stars.

Small market teams can compete in small windows, but not over the long term. This way, everyone would have a chance, every year. Except the stupid teams.

Harvick tops Bristol qualifying for fifth pole of season

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Kevin Harvick is making it look easy in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying these days.

Harvick claimed his fifth pole of the season at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday in track-record time. He has started and finished in the top 10 in each of the previous four races and has missed cracking the top 12 just once in the last 18 starts.

Harvick's qualifying turnaround began after he could start no better than 27th at Bristol in the March race.

"It just took us a little bit to get our balance right on our cars," Harvick said. "It took us six or seven weeks. But once (my team) zeroed in on the balance number and the things we needed to make the car go fast, qualifying has been a lot better.

"They make me look like a better qualifier than I really am because they put a lot of effort into it. We were able to put down two solid laps today. Anytime you can beat the 24 right now, you know things are going OK."

Harvick was referring to the No. 24 of Jeff Gordon, perhaps the only driver hotter on the Sprint Cup circuit.

Gordon, coming off a victory at Michigan last week, just missed winning a third consecutive pole, running 131.290 mph to Harvick’s 131.362.

"We're clicking so well together right now and the result is showing," said Gordon, who has been among the top 12 in qualifying for 11 of the last 12 Sprint Cup races.

"It builds a lot of confidence when you go to Watkins Glen, sit on the pole and run up front, then go to Michigan and sit on the pole and win, then come here and sit on the front row. Those are three unique tracks and it shows how good our cars are and our team is right now."

All 12 cars that advanced through the first round of knockout qualifying broke the track record of 129.991 mph set by Denny Hamlin in March. Hamlin, nine-thousandths of a second slower than his lap in March, was the odd man out, bumped by Kasey Kahne for the 12th qualifying spot.

"I don't know what it looks like, but it felt screaming fast," said Edwards, who started 12th but went on to win the Food City 500 on March 16. "It's just a crazy racetrack."

It was the second consecutive strong qualifying effort for Edwards, who started third last week at Michigan. Before that, he'd qualified better than 10th once in 11 races. Edwards turned a lap of 131.209 mph and will be joined on the second row by Kyle Busch.

Drivers were in unanimous agreement that they'll have to stick to the top groove to maximize speed on Saturday night.

"The difference from the bottom to the top is three-tenths of a second, so you're going to have to be on top of the racetrack (to contend)," Harvick said. "The problem with the high groove is that running into the back of somebody puts you in jeopardy when you have to go underneath them after they bounce off the wall.

"This is going to be a track position game, just because of the groove and the way the tires don't fall off. There's going to be a lot of strategy and restarts are going to be important because everybody's going to be fighting for the top of the track."

Among those fighting for a win with only three races until the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup field is set will be Greg Biffle (eighth) Marcos Ambrose (10th), Ryan Newman (11th) and Kahne (12th), each of whom advanced through knockout qualifying, into Friday's second and final round of qualifying.

Rookie Kyle Larson, also looking for a win to get in the Chase, had been fastest in final practice but struck the wall in Turn 4 and failed to advance past the first round. Aric Almirola and Cole Whitt also tangled with the wall in the first round of qualifying.

Wind blowing in at this stadium Saturday

According to DailyBaseballData.com, wind be blowing in at Target Field as the Minnesota Twins host the Detroit Tigers Saturday afternoon.

Forecasts are calling for wind blowing in from left field at around 11 mph.

The Tigers will send Buck Farmer to the mound for the game, and will certainly hope the wind will cool off Minnesota's offense, which saw 20 runs cross the plate in Friday's 20-6 thrashing of the Tigers. The Twins are slated to counter with Yohan Pino.

Detroit is sending Buck Farmer to the mound.
