Max Verstappen says Red Bull should be happy with the comfortable gap to Ferrari and think about taking the fight to Mercedes at the German Grand Prix.Verstappen lost out to teammate Daniel Ricciardo for third but both men finished ahead of the Ferraris on the third row. The gap between Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen was four tenths and the teenager is also encouraged by Red Bull the gap to Mercedes to within a similar margin.Asked if the gap to Mercedes had come down since Friday, he said: Yes, definitely on this track where we did not expect to be that close, we were quite close. So we can definitely be pleased with this qualifying because even we were in front of the Ferrari quite comfortably, and that was very important for us.He was then pressed on whether Germanys qualifying result was proof Red Bull has moved ahead of Ferrari, he replied: I think we are defiantly on a good way, yeah. I mean, it shows that definitely. Hopefully now in the race we have good pace again like we had on Friday, and then we will see what happens.Like teammate Ricciardo, Verstappen hopes Red Bulls encouraging long run pace translates into a challenge of Mercedes during the grand prix.It all looked very promising; hopefully we can have the same balance in the car tomorrow. So we see. It will be an interesting race.Hopefully we dont need to cover [Ferrari] like we had to do in Hungary, where we lost out. And hopefully we can follow the Mercedes cars and try to push them. Air Max 720 Soldes .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chicago White Sox missed Tyler Saladinos bat the past couple of days, losing two to the Kansas City Royals.Saladino has been held out with a left calf issue after exiting the game prematurely Friday. The White Sox are hopeful Saladino could start Monday for the final game this year against the Royals.Hes getting better, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. Again, its just something that hes dealing with that Herms (Schneider, trainer) dealing with. Theres nothing wrong. He got checked out yesterday. Theres nothing mechanically wrong in there. Hes just sore and you just have to treat it.Saldadino is .500, 16-for-32, in his past nine games, with three doubles, five runs and four RBI. He has a .349 average in his past 28 games and a .377 average in 14 September games against American League opponents, who are getting a third look at him.Hes made his own adjustments, even going through it last year, guys starting to get a book on him, pitching him a certain way, Ventura said. For him, coming into this year and even later on, like this last month, hitting with some power, hitting some doubles, being able to drive in runs from down in the lineup is, I think, just a test of how he can adjust and improve and continue to just play baseball.When you look at him, hes just a baseball player. Theres things that he does that, you know, proves over and over again how valuable he is.Saladino has started 38 games at second, 27 at shortstop and 10 at third base.Hes been an everyday player as of late, Ventura said. Just being able to have the versatility, being able to move him around, and moving him around gives him more value. A lot of guys dont always look at it that way, but if there is an injury, even though he is a shortstop and can play third base, similar to this year, with Brett (Lawrie) going down, you can play him at second base and you can leave him there. Thats how versatile he is. You dont really sit there and look at it as well just make do for a couple of days. You actually let him play it out.The Royals won 10-3 Saturday and are 13-5 against the White Sox this season with one game remaining. The White Sox did not win consecutive games against the Royals this season. The White Sox have lost six consecutive season series to the Royals, going 40-71 in that spann.ddddddddddddLeft-hander Carlos Rodon will make his 26th start of the season Monday and his fifth against the Royals. Rodon is 2-1 with a 2.28 ERA with the Royals hitting .290 off him in the four outings. Rodon has struck out 23 in 23 2/3 innings.Rodon beat the Royals 7-2 on Sept. 9 at U.S. Cellular field, striking out nine in six innings, while allowing one run on six hits. He struck out nine and walked two.While Rodon is 5-1 with a 2.77 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 48 2/3 innings in his past eight starts, seven of them quality, he is coming off a loss Wednesday to the Cleveland Indians. Rodon surrendered six runs on nine hits, including one home run, and three walks in five innings against the Indians for his first loss since July 31.Rodon, the third overall pick in the 2014 draft out of North Carolina State, spent time on the disabled list in July after injuring his left wrist when he slipped on the and fell in the White Sox dugout.Lorenzo Cain is 6-for-10 off Rodon, but he will likely not play. Cain has appeared in only one September game because of left wrist injury. Whit Merrifield is 4-for-7 off Rodon.The Royals will start right-hander Yordano Ventura in the final matchup of the two clubs this year. Volquez is coming off one of his worst starts, allowing five runs on seven hits over 4 1/3 innings in an 8-0 loss to Oakland on Wednesday.Volquez is 1-2 with a 5.19 ERA in three September starts. Is his past three starts, opponents are hitting .324 off him and he has walked 12.Left-hander Danny Duffy baffled the White Sox Sunday, giving up three runs on hits, while striking out eight and walking two in seven-plus innings. Manager Ned Yost said he thought Duffy might be running out of gas in the eight he gave up an Adam Eaton single and walked Jose Abreu and brought in rookie reliever Kevin McCarthy.What I had in the tank in the sixth and seventh, Duffy said. I didnt feel tired at any point, even in the eighth when I walked Abreu. They were battling both of those at-bats, spitting on good sliders. I think just staying within myself for the most part.I trust my fastball and everything else plays off of it. Thats probably why I dont try to nibble with it. ' ' '
