Red Bull have delivered emphatic proof that they can challenge Mercedes at this weekends Monaco GP by surging ahead in Thursday practice. After Mercedes Lewis Hamilton led the way in morning practice, Daniel Ricciardo finished Practice Two half a second clear of the world champion. The Australian, armed with an upgraded Renault engine, topped the timesheet with a lap of 1:14.607 - just two tenths shy of the fastest lap ever recorded around Monte Carlo, set by Michael Schumacher in 2004. Despite also running on the ultrasofts, the new brand of tyres being debuted by Pirelli, Hamilton could only close to within a tenth of Ricciardo with his best effort before the Australian found another half-second of pace. While the size of Ricciardos one-lap advantage indicates that Red Bull and Mercedes may have been running different levels of fuel, his strong long-run stint at the end of the session offered further evidence that the bullish Bulls may now be a genuine match for the hitherto-dominant Mercedes.Obviously weve got a good car around here as well, said Ricciardo. This track is certainly one where you can find a little bit more when you can push it on the limit. Ive got some good confidence, which is the most important thing around here.Sky F1 pundits: Red Bull speed unbelievable With Ricciardos team-mate Max Verstappen in fourth, just behind world championship leader Nico Rosberg, Sky F1s Martin Brundle exclaimed from trackside: Those Red Bull drivers have got absolutely unbelievable speed and confidence around here. Absolutely unbelievable. It defies belief that they can take that much speed into this swimming pool section.The resurgent Red Bull outfit, who threatened to leave F1 just a year ago, won two weeks ago in Spain and their RB12 chassis appears particularly well suited to the notoriously tight confines of the legendary Monte Carlo circuit.When is the Monaco GP on Sky Sports and how can you watch it?But Ferraris struggles continued with both Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen only on the outskirts of the top 10 behind Toro Rosso duo Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz. Vettels difficulties were highlighted by an unusual spin into Mirabeu which resulted in the apologetic former world champion requiring a new rear wing. We tried a couple of things and its fair to say some of them didnt work, said Vettel. You could call it pressure but its also the reason we are here. Were not here to finish eighth, or fifth, were here to win.Jenson Button rounded off the top 10 for McLaren on a relatively quiet day for the team despite pre-event predictions they could catch Ferrari. On a difficult day for the field as they adjusted to the new range of Pirelli tyres and a green circuit, Rio Haryanto, Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen all crashed out. The exit from the tunnel was particularly hazardous, catching out both Grosjean in the Haas and Manor rookie Haryanto. Its understood that despite substantial financial backing from the Indonesian government, Haryantos seat may be in jeopardy with American driver Alex Rossi waiting in the wings.Monaco GP Practice Two timesheet1.

DETROIT -- Minnesota manager Paul Molitor shrugged off any attempt to connect Terry Ryans firing with the teams punchless performance against Detroit.Im not going to put those two things together, Molitor said. It is a tough day, and I suppose you could ask every individual, but I dont think it had an impact. Once you get on the field, you just have to play.Ricky Nolasco pitched six strong innings for the Twins, but he allowed Justin Uptons homer in the second for the games only run, and Minnesota lost 1-0 to the Tigers on Monday night. Earlier in the day, the last-place Twins announced that Ryan, their general manager, had been fired.Detroits Matt Boyd (1-2) allowed three hits in six outstanding innings. He struck out seven with one walk. Three relievers finished for the Tigers, with Francisco Rodriguez pitching a hitless ninth for his 26th save in 28 chancesWeve been struggling offensively coming out of the break, and that didnt change, Molitor said. We had a lot of trouble with Boyds offspeed pitches.Nolasco (4-8) allowed one run and three hits.Uptons homer was his 200th. Although the Tigers left the bases loaded in the third, Boyd and the bullpen made their one run stand up. Monday was the longest scoreless start of the 25-year-old left-handers career. The Tigers acquired him in last years trade that sent David Price to Toronto.The only real misstep by Boyd came in the sixth, after he snagged Joe Mauers line drive up the middle. Looking pleased with himself, Boyd flipped the ball from his glove to his bare hand and then threw the ball into left field in a failed attempt to start the toss around the infield.Boyds biggest jam was in the fourth, when he got Eddie Rosario on a grounder for the third out with two on. The Twins didnt have another baserunner until Miguel Sanos one-out wwalk in the ninth.ddddddddddddHONOREDThe Tigers gave tickets to some Dallas police officers who were in town for the funeral of Michael Krol, a Michigan native who was among the five officers killed earlier this month by a gunman in Dallas. The officers were shown in the crowd on the big screen at the start of the fifth inning, and fans gave them a standing ovation. There was a brief pause before the game restarted, and a couple umpires joined in the clapping.I got goosebumps. That was probably one of the coolest things Ive seen, Tigers catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. The whole city kind of stood up and rallied and let those guys know that we do support them. Those guys lay their lives on the line.NO KsNolasco did not strike out a batter, the first time thats happened to him since he lasted only two innings in a start July 6, 2014, against the New York Yankees.It was a weird day, not punching anyone out, but I felt really good, Nolasco said. I think the extra days coming off the break really helped me.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: LHP Daniel Norris (right oblique strain) allowed a run and five hits in four innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Toledo.
