MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins are guaranteed the worst record in baseball.Max Kepler homered and Robbie Grossman had three hits, but Minnesota lost 4-3 to Seattle on Sunday for its 100th loss. This is the second time in team history the Twins have had triple-digit losses: The 1982 squad finished 60-102.Its going to stare at you all winter long, said manager Paul Molitor.At 56-100, the Twins are 7 1/2 games behind Atlanta at the bottom of the majors with six games to play.You definitely dont want to be on top of that list for most losses in a season, said Hector Santiago, who allowed four earned runs in 5 2/3 innings.Seattles Nelson Cruz homered twice before leaving with left wrist soreness and Jesus Sucre homered for the first time in 14 months. Trying to make the postseason for the first time since 2001, Seattle has won 12 of 17 and is 2 1/2 games behind Baltimore for the second American League wild-card spot with a week to play.Minnesota finished 30-51 at home.The announced crowd of 22,092 pushed the teams season total to 1,963,912, the lowest in seven seasons at Target Field. Since the ballpark opened in 2010 -- also the Twins last playoff appearance -- attendance has declined annually. Last year, 2,220,054 tickets were sold. The last time Minnesota failed to draw at least 2 million fans was in 2004, when 1,911,418 fans attended games in the Metrodome.We were able to feel supportive as a group by our fans this year, Molitor said. Draw close to 2 million fans in a year where things dont go particularly well. I want to acknowledge that. On behalf of the team, we appreciate the people coming out.But, they again saw the home team lose. The Twins had three errors Sunday, two by shortstop Jorge Polanco, and again struggled to get a clutch hit.Keplers home run gave Minnesota a 2-1 lead in the second, but Sucre hit a two-run shot in the fifth for a 3-2 Seattle advantage.That leadoff walk in that fifth inning kind of got me. That led to that fastball that Sucre hit out. Overall, good, felt pretty good, command was pretty good, Santiago said.Seattle starter Taijuan Walker (7-11) danced around danger for most of his 5 1/3 innings, allowing nine hits and three earned runs. Minnesota was 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position through five innings before an RBI single by Juan Centeno got the Twins within 4-3 and ended Walkers day.Nick Vincent, Steve Cishek and Edwin Diaz combined for 3 2/3 innings of no-hit relief for Seattle, including Diazs 17th save in 19 chances.UMPIRE OUTHome plate umpire and crew chief Jerry Layne took a Robinson Cano foul ball off his mask in the first inning and had to leave the game with concussion-like symptoms. Layne stumbled to his right and was grabbed by catcher Juan Centeno, who was quickly aided by Cano. Layne was tended to by Minnesota trainers for a few minutes before gingerly leaving the field. Hunter Wendelstedt took over home plate duties.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: After officially missing five straight games with sore quadriceps, 1B Joe Mauer was 0 for 3 with a walk as the teams designated hitter Sunday. Hitless in his last 15 at-bats, Mauer is 2 for 32 in his past nine games. He also struck out twice Wednesday before that game was rained out.UP NEXTMariners: Seattle opens a three-game series in Houston Monday with Hisashi Iwakuma (16-12, 4.04) looking to bounce back after allowing six runs in 3 1/3 innings against Toronto last time out.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Before Ohio State could move on to next weekends showdown with Michigan, the Buckeyes had to deal with a different nemesis.As usual, Michigan State gave Urban Meyers team all it could handle.Mike Weber ran for 111 yards and a touchdown, and No. 2 Ohio State held off Michigan State 17-16 on Saturday after the upset-minded Spartans missed a 2-point conversion with 4:41 remaining.Tough day at the office right there, Meyer said. Well take the win against a team that we know very well and on the road in November. Were 10-1 and getting ready for rivalry week.Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) can now focus on Michigan, but only after withstanding a spirited challenge from a Michigan State team that derailed the Buckeyes national title bids in two of the previous three seasons. The Spartans (3-8, 1-7) were down 17-10 when LJ Scott scored on a 1-yard run with 4:41 to play. Michigan State went for the lead, but Tyler OConnors pass on the 2-point conversion attempt was intercepted in the end zone.All week long Id said that, hey, if we get close at the end of the game, were going for 2, and were going to take an aggressive approach and play to win the football game rather than to tie, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. They had us covered up on that particular play, so good job by them.The Spartans got the ball back one more time, at their own 20 with 2:04 remaining. Tyquan Lewis sacked OConnor on the first play, and then Gareon Conley intercepted him on the second.Scott ran for 160 yards and also scored on a 64-yard catch-and-run in the first minute of the game, but the Ohio State defense didnt allow much more after that. J.T. Barrett threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel in the first quarter, and the game was tied at 10 at halftime.Webers 4-yard TD run in the third gave the Buckeyes the lead for good.THE TAKEAWAYOhio State: The Buckeyes had to claw their way to this win, but it was still a sweet one against the team that has given them more trouble than any in recent seasons. Michigan State beat Ohio State in the 2013 Big Ten title game and again late in the regular season last year. Ohio States stellar pass defense was the difference. OConnorr and Damion Terry were a combined 8 of 21 with two interceptions for the Spartans.ddddddddddddMichigan State: Dantonios team threw everything it had at Ohio State, executing a successful fake punt in the fourth quarter and later going for 2 when an extra point would have tied it. The Spartans fell just short in the end, unable to establish any consistent offensive threats aside from Scott.The 2-point conversion may be second-guessed in the days to come, but OConnor said the team was on board with it.We dont play for second place, obviously, OConnor said. Everybody was all in on going for it.POLL IMPLICATIONSOhio State: The Buckeyes trailed only top-ranked Alabama coming into this weekend, but the bigger concern for them is their playoff position. Even if Ohio State beats Michigan, it could lose a head-to-head tiebreaker with Penn State for the division title.TOUGH SLEDDINGMichigan State managed only 127 yards passing, over half of it on one play. Ohio State wasnt very productive through the air either. Barrett went 10 of 22 for 86 yards on a windy day that included sporadic snow flurries. The Spartans, who had only seven sacks coming into the game, had three against Ohio State.MILESTONEWeber became the third Ohio State freshman to reach 1,000 yards rushing. Robert Smith (1990) and Maurice Clarett (2002) were the other two.It means a lot, he said. It was a goal that I had set at the beginning of the year. My offensive line executed and made it happen.GREAT SCOTTScott had 236 total yards, including a highlight-reel play in the third quarter when he hurdled an Ohio State defender near the sideline.UP NEXTOhio State: The Buckeyes have lost only once in their last 12 meetings with Michigan. Ohio State will be at home next weekend, where it has not lost to Michigan since 2000.Michigan State: The Spartans play at Penn State next weekend, meaning they could have another chance to play spoiler in the Big Ten title race.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ' ' '
