Thrice as Nice
For the first time since June 2016, the Minnesota Twins went back-to-back-to-back with Nelson Cruz, Eddie Rosario and CJ Cron going deep in consecutive at-bats.
We did something last night that our squad hasn’t done since June 26, 2016 in New York: Crush 3 consecutive homers! #TwinsWin

Anderson Does it Again
Tim Anderson sent the Chicago White Sox fans home happy with a walk-off home run and ‘bat flip’ late Friday night against the Detroit Tigers. If you do it for early inning home runs, you got to do it for clutch walk-offs, too.
