The NRL has hit back at claims it doesnt offer enough prizemoney for teams in the finals series.As the debate continues surrounding the meagre $100,000 award for the minor premiership, the NRL on Thursday moved to debunk claims that the only additional prizemoney on offer was the $400,000 given to the premiers.Up to $2.5 million in prizemoney and incentives will be up for grabs in the NRL finals series which begins next week, they said in a statement.This includes $1 million in prizemoney, rising from $20,000 for a first week finals loser through to $400,000 for the grand final winner.Along with the $20,000 given to the first two teams eliminated, $30,000 is given to those outed in the second week, $100,000 in the third week and $200,000 to the grand final losers.In comparison, the AFL offer $71,000, $110,000, $330,000 respectively for first, second and third-week losers, before $660,000 is given to the runners-up and $1.2 million to the premiers.No minor premiership prize money is awarded by the AFL.The NRL also said a pool $1.5 million was available to clubs in corporate hospitality and cash incentives for reaching gate and attendance targets throughout the finals.The NRLs insistence comes after Melbourne co-owner Matthew Tripp labelled the $100,000 prize to minor premiers as embarrassing on Wednesday, ahead of the deciding clash between the Storm and Cronulla on Saturday night.

MINNEAPOLIS -- A Minnesota Twins season that appears headed toward 100 losses has seen plenty of its down moments and being swept at home by the Detroit in the season series is among the top disappointments.Justin Verlander (15-8) tied a season-high with 11 strikeouts, while Minnesota struck out 17 times in a 4-2 loss in the second game of Thursdays doubleheader as the Tigers moved into the second AL wild-card spot.Erick Aybar drove in two runs for Detroit, which went 9-0 at Minnesota this year and outscored the Twins 65-25 at Target Field.The way Verlander and those guys arent giving in, you can just tell, especially when you face a team like these guys and Cleveland enough, second baseman Brian Dozier said. They do the little things right 100 percent of the time in order to win games. I hope theyre observing this, a lot of people in here.Ervin Santana (7-11) gave up four runs -- two earned -- five hits and four walks in six innings for the Twins. Juan Centeno and Byron Buxton hit solo homers in the evening loss.The nightcap was another sloppy game for Minnesota, which committed two errors, had two wild pitches and one passed ball. The Twins had three errors and five wild pitches in the doubleheader, scheduled to make up Wednesdays rainout.Minnesota has lost six straight games and 98 overall, reaching 96 for the fourth time in six seasons and three short of their 2011 total.Its kind of been typical for us to hang in games and then not be able to finish, manager Paul Molitor said.

It can be small when yourre losing these close games, especially when theyre low-scoring like that.ddddddddddddIn the first game, Pat Dean made a spot start and pitched five innings while giving up just one run.Detroits Justin Upton hit a tiebreaking homer off Alex Wimmers (1-3) and Victor Martinez added a pinch-hit, three-run homer in a six-run ninth against Pat Light.AMONG SECONDSDoziers first-inning homer in the first game was his 42nd of the season and 40th while playing second base, establishing a new AL record for homers in a season by a second baseman. Dozier passed Alfonso Sorianos total in 2002. Only Rogers Hornsby (42 in 1922), Davey Johnson (42 in 1973) and Ryne Sandberg (40 in 1990) have hit more.Its just another number, Dozier said. But at the same time, I know the fans are enjoying it, so you come out and you play for them. To get a chance to do that here at home is pretty cool.Dozier had his 24-game hitting streak snapped in the second game.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: DH/3B Miguel Sano (lower back tightness) was back in the lineup for the first time since Sept. 12. Molitor said Sano was still sore but was anxious to return. . Molitor confirmed RHP Trevor May has a stress fracture in his back. May was 2-2 with a 5.27 ERA in 44 relief appearances.
