MSU FOOTBALL-GUTIERREZ
 
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KMOT) – Former Minot State football player Sebastian Gutierrez signed with the Super Bowl LVII champion Kansas City Chiefs Wednesday. ESPN reported the transaction and Guterriez confirmed the news on his personal social media channels. After stops in Denver and New England camps, Gutierrez dressed for one game with the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2022 season. The offensive lineman played two snaps on special teams in the game. The Raiders waived Gutierrez on May 2. Over the weekend, Gutierrez tried out at Kansas City’s rookie minicamp and the team signed him. Gutierrez will now participate in the Chiefs’ organized team activities and minicamp.

TWINS-PADRES
 
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alex Kirilloff’s single in the 11th inning scored automatic runner Max Kepler and the Minnesota Twins pulled out a 4-3 win against the San Diego Padres. Carlos Correa was intentionally walked with Kepler on second and Kirilloff pulled a pitch from Domingo Tapia down the right-field line to help Minnesota snap a three-game losing streak. Griffin Jax escaped a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 11th to secure the win for the Twins after both teams scored their automatic runners in the 10th. Kepler homered, doubled and scored three runs for Minnesota. Juan Soto homered for San Diego, which has lost three of four. Josh Hader blew his second save in 13 chances this season. 
 
UP NEXT
RHP Yu Darvish (2-2, 3.19 ERA) starts the afternoon series finale for San Diego, while Minnesota sends RHP Bailey Ober (2-0, 0.98) to the mound. Darvish has allowed more than one earned run just twice in his six starts. Ober has allowed two runs in 18 1/3 innings since taking the rotation spot of the injured Kenta Maeda.
 
Prior to Wednesday’s game the Twins reinstated infielder Kyle Farmer from the injured list four weeks after he was hit by a pitch in the face and needed oral surgery. Third baseman Jose Miranda was sent to Triple-A St. Paul to make room for Farmer. Farmer missed 24 games while recovering from the errant 92 mph fastball that caused a laceration around his lower lip and knocked four teeth out of alignment. Farmer played shortstop and second base before his injury. The demotion of Miranda likely means he’ll fill in at third base as well.
