MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Red Bull set the pace in first practice for the Singapore Grand Prix as Nico Rosberg ended his session with a collision against the barriers.Max Verstappen beat Daniel Ricciardo to the fastest time by 0.049s as the two Red Bulls stuck solely to the ultra-soft tyre compound and finished the 90-minute session 0.464s clear of closest rival Sebastian Vettel.The ultra-soft compound is the fastest of the three tyres on offer this weekend and Mercedes opted only to complete a nine-lap installation run on it at the start of the session. As a result, its hard to compare the times of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg with the Red Bulls at this stage of the weekend, making it difficult to get a good reading on whether the world champions have overcome the problems they experienced at the same track one year ago.Rosberg was on a soft tyre run when he locked his brakes at Turn 18 and clouted the barrier. The mistake broke the front wing and forced him to return to the pits, where he remained for the rest of the session. He still managed to complete 22 laps, just two fewer than Hamilton, but the incident proved just how costly a small mistake can be at Marina Bay. Mercedes expects the car to be repaired in time for second practice this evening.Although Rosberg was the only driver to make heavy contact with the barriers, Verstappen, Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Daniil Kvyat all clipped the wall on the exit of the penultimate corner. Romain Grosjean completed just two laps due to low intake pressure and the team had to take the bodywork off his Haas to investigate. Jenson Button also suffered a technical issue early in the session, stopping on track ahead of the final corner, but the marshals recovered his car to the pits where the problem was fixed.The top five cars were covered by just 0.690s, with Kimi Raikkonen lagging behind in sixth in the second Ferrari after getting stuck in traffic on his quick lap. Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat showed some promising pace in the Toro Rosso after two lacklustre race weekends in Spa-Francorchamps and Monza, finishing the session seventh and eighth. Felipe Massa was ninth fastest, but it should be noted that neither Williams attempted a lap on the ultra-soft tyres.Esteban Gutierrez rounded out the top ten in the updated Haas VF-16 ahead of Fernando Alonso in the McLaren in 11th. McLaren is hoping to be competitive this weekend and there is likely to be more to come from the MP4-31 after Alonso spent the majority of the session on the super-soft compound.The Force Indias were 12th and 13th after sticking exclusively to the soft tyre -- the slowest compound of all -- while Felipe Nasr managed to set the 15th fastest time with a series of runs on the ultra-softs. Once his car was back on track, Button set the 16th fastest time in the McLaren ahead of the two Renaults, Pascal Wehrlein, Marcus Ericsson and Esteban Ocon. Nike Shox Clearance Sale . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Houston-Minnesota game was postponed Wednesday by persistent rain that started in the third inning and was forecast to last throughout the night.Major League Baseball made the decision after a 2+-hour delay. The game will be played Thursday night in the second half of a doubleheader, following the regularly scheduled game.That means the 5-0 lead the Twins took off Dallas Kuechel has vanished. After Brian Dozier hit a leadoff home run, the Twins tagged the 2015 American League Cy Young Award winner with four more runs in the second before the skies opened up 53 minutes into the game and the customers hurried for cover.Conveniently, this was the night white umbrellas designed to look like baseballs were given away to the first 10,000 fans.The Astros let Kuechel down with errors by third baseman Alex Bregman and shortstop Carlos Correa, leading to two unearned runs while the Twins sent 10 batters to the plate in the second inning as dark clouds rolled in and lightning flashed in the distance.Twins starter Ervin Santana left the mound with a disappointed look with one out and a big lead in the third as the umpires waved the players off the field and the grounds crew hustled to retrieve the tarp.Kuechel was coming off a three-hit shutout, another sign he was getting back in a groove after a rough start to the season.Dozier homered for the second straight night.

May, who has a 4.89 ERA in 42 1/3 innings and leads relievers with 59 strikeouts, will see a specialist Thursday for further evaluation.

Chargois, who was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to fill in for May, has returned for redemption with his 67.50 ERA.
