MSU GOLF
 
HUDSON, WI (MSU) – Minot State sophomore Zach Hendrickson matched his career-best on Tuesday, and with it came within just two strokes of a title. The Our Redeemer’s Christian School product shot an even-par 71 at the Troy Burne Golf Club for Tuesday’s final round of the Concordia, St. Paul-Minnesota State, Mankato Fall Brawl to tie for third individually at 1-over 143 (72-71).

TWINS-REDS
 
CINCINNATI (AP) — Willi Castro hit a two-run homer and made two spectacular catches, Kenta Maeda combined on a four-hitter and the Minnesota Twins beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-0 on Tuesday night in another step toward their third AL Central title in five seasons. Ryan Jeffers added a solo homer for Minnesota (80-72), which opened an eight-game lead over second-place Cleveland with 10 games remaining. Cincinnati (79-74), shut out for the 10th time, is one game behind the Chicago Cubs for the NL’s final wild card, also trailing Miami by a half-game. In his first season after Tommy John surgery, Maeda (6-7) won his third straight start after four no-decisions. He allowed one hit in five innings, retiring his first 11 batters before Spencer Steer doubled to left and Jake Fraley. After a double steal, Castro made a diving catch of Tyler Stephenson’s liner to center, which could have tied the game had it dropped. Castro leaped at the wall to rob Stephenson of a home run in the seventh, a day after Michael A. Taylor denied Will Benson on a drive to center. Despite not having his best four-seam fastball, Maeda struck out eight and walked one. Kody Funderburk, Emilio Pagán, Caleb Thielbar and Dylan Floro finished the Twins’ 12th shutout. Royce Lewis appeared to hurt a leg while running out a double-play ball in the sixth. He stayed in the game, then left after fouling off a 2-1 pitch in the eighth. Minnesota said he had left hamstring tightness.
 
UP NEXT
Reds RHP Hunter Greene (4-6, 4.45, 129 strikeouts) is due to face Twins RHP Bailey Ober (7-6, 3.67, 126 strikeouts) in today’s series finale.

VIKINGS-RISNER SIGNED
 
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings signed former Denver guard Dalton Risner on Tuesday to try to shore up what has been a problematic position for several seasons. Risner visited the Vikings for a workout during training camp. Drafted in the second round out of Kansas State in 2019, Risner started 62 games in four years for the Broncos. He became a free agent and had been unsigned. To make room on the active roster, the Vikings placed tackle Oli Udoh on injured reserve with a torn quadriceps tendon he suffered in the team’s most recent game at Philadelphia. The Vikings ( 0-2 ) are last in the NFL in rushing yards and third worst in the league with an average of 2.65 yards per attempt. Center Garrett Bradbury was sidelined by a back injury in the season opener. Right guard Ed Ingram has struggled often since winning the job as a rookie last season. “I do have a lot of confidence in our guys, but clearly we’ve got to do something a little bit differently and really focus on how to run the football better,” coach Kevin O’Connell said after the loss to the Eagles.
