MINNEAPOLIS -- Already battling the Tigers, Astros, Orioles and Blue Jays for a wild-card slot in the American League playoffs, the Mariners now face another potentially daunting opponent as they head into the second game of their current six-game road swing -- distraction.Seattle faces the Twins on Saturday evening in Minnesota having won big in the series opener on Friday by a 10-1 score. The Mariners will send lefty Ariel Miranda (5-1) out to face Minnesota right-hander Tyler Duffy (8-11). But the weekend started with some big Mariners news off the field, when the team on Friday suspended catcher Steve Clevenger for the rest of the season, without pay. Clevenger, who was already on the 60-day disabled list with a broken right hand, sent out a pair of Tweets on Thursday that were critical of Black Lives Matter protestors in Charlotte and of President Obama.As soon as we became aware of the tweets posted by Steve yesterday, we began to examine all of our options in regard to his standing on the team, said Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto in a statement on Friday. Today we have informed him that he is suspended for the remainder of the season without pay.Its an unnecessary sideshow for a Mariners team still in the thick of the wild-card race, but needing to leapfrog at least two teams to get to the postseason. But after manager Scott Servais addressed the team about the Clevenger situation on Friday, the Seattle players say theyre focused on the task at hand.The only thing we care about is what we can do on the field, said designated hitter Nelson Cruz. Dont worry about whats going on outside the lines, and well be all right.For Minnesota, pretty much nothing inside the white lines is going right lately. The season was lost weeks ago, and the Twins are limping to the offseason having dropped seven in a row. With 99 losses, theyre likely to have just the second triple-digit loss season in franchise history.I think we just need to forget about whats happened here the last week or so, said pitcher Tommy Milone after Fridays blowout. Obviously we know that things havent been good. I guess we just have to forget about it, go out there. We know that were a better team than the way were playing. Its easier said than done, so obviously you can look back and just really kind of dwell on it. But I think we really need to dig down and use these last eight games and kind of see what were made of and go after them.The Twins also lost 99 games in 2011 (63-99) and are currently at risk of recording the most losses in franchise history. The 1982 Twins went 60-102 in their first season in the Metrodome, but the lineup featured a core of young players who would make up the nucleus of the franchises first World Series title five years later.

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. Match factsOctober 12, Chittagong Start time 2.30pm (0830GMT)Big pictureThere has been 30mm of rain in Chittagong in the last 24 hours and there is heavy rain in the forecast throughout Wednesday, leaving the third ODI in doubt. If rain does play a decisive part, it will be a huge anti-climax to a one-day series that has spiced up on and off the field.But if the weather does relent, it promises to be a humdinger even though it could be a shortened game. The teams have gone through every dramatic turn possible during the course of the first two ODIs. Top-order struggles, two magnificent centuries, two debutants strong showing, a batting and fielding collapse, the captains performance and off-the-ball shenanigans have all made it an intriguing contest.Both teams have shown vulnerability, which has added to the context of another big occasion. Bangladesh have the chance to become only the second team in the sub-continent to win seven home bilateral ODI series in a row, and England would like to stop them from doing that.Jos Buttler is leading a feisty unit that bats as deep as No. 11, now that Jake Ball has also shown that he can hold his own. Ball has been impressive on his first outing in the sub-continent. His attitude is an asset that can spread through the team over the long winter in Bangladesh and India.Bangladesh, meanwhile, will have another chance to right their top and middle-order wrongs, and find a way to raise their run-rate in the last ten overs.All of this can happen only if the weather plays its part but the leaden skies arent saying an encouraging story.Form guide(completed matches, most recent first)Bangladesh WLWLWEngland LWLWWIn the spotlightThere was a social media uproar after the first ODI to include Nasir Hossain and, after the team management relented, he did the job with bat, ball and in the field. He scored a run-a-ball 27, took 1 for 29 in ten econmoical overs which kept the pressure on England, and calmly held the winning catch on the boundary. Now for some consistency from the peoples player.Ben Stokes has had an eventful tour so far. After scoring his maiden hundred, his war cry was inspiring to his team-mates as they made a dramatic turnaround.dddddddddddd. After a duck in the second match, Stokes got involved in an end-of-match spat with Tamim Iqbal. He has promised never to back down. There will be much focus on him in this game.Team newsBangladeshs musical chairs approach with the left-arm spinner has Taijul Islam back in the squad, but it is unlikely that he will make it into the XI. The home team are likely to go with the winning combination.Bangladesh (possible) 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Sabbir Rahman, 4 Mahmudullah, 5 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 6 Shakib Al Hasan, 7 Mosaddek Hossain, 8 Nasir Hossain, 9 Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), 10 Shafiul Islam, 11 Taskin AhmedEngland may have a case for Sam Billings in the top order, with Ben Duckett replacing James Vince as the opener. There is very little chance for any other changes given how their bowlers have performed.England (possible) 1 Jason Roy, 2 James Vince, 3 Ben Duckett, 4 Jonny Bairstow, 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler (capt & wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Adil Rashid, 10 David Willey, 11 Jake BallPitch and conditionsThe pitch has been under covers for most of the 72 hours leading up to the game, and there is more rain in the forecast throughout Wednesday. Overall, Chittagong isnt the best batting-first ground: in 2011, the pitch was relayed and there has only been one 300+ score and that was in the venues first match in 2006Stats and triviaIn the last game, Mushfiqur Rahim became the third Bangladesh batsman to reach 4,000 ODI runs. The other two are Tamim Iqbal (4,962) and Shakib Al Hasan (4,562).Jake Ball was only the third England No. 11 to score more than 25 runs. The other two are Steven Finn (35) and Angus Fraser (30).Adil Rashid needs three wickets to reach 50 in ODIs.QuotesIf the wicket is sweaty, the toss becomes a factor. The in-and-out that may occur due to rain interruptions can make it difficult. These can bother both teams.Mashrafe Mortaza was keeping a close on eye on conditions We believe we should have won the last game.Moeen Ali keeps it simple ' ' '
