The Twins advanced — for the first time in 21 years — to play the defending World Series champion Astros. It's familiar territory for Correa, who played for Houston for seven seasons before signing with Minnesota in free agency. The Blue Jays hit the ball hard again and made Gray work for his first career win in the playoffs, but the veteran right-hander finished five effective innings. Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, one of four Blue Jays who made 31 or more starts this season, was greeted by a single by Max Kepler. The Twins also lost a division series to the A’s in 2006 and a wild-card series to the Astros in 2020.

He said he had been dealing with knee pain all season but woke up with the inflammation Tuesday.

The challenges unique to the queer community are present year-round. "David and I like to say that 80% of personal finance is the same for everybody. That's the finance in personal finance," he says. "But the other 20%, which is the personal side of personal finance, is based on our backgrounds, our histories, our socioeconomic status, race, creed, segmentation, all of that." Here are three unique financial challenges queer people face, and how LGBTQ-focused financial planners say they can overcome them.
