IMPACT PLAYER

Miguel Sano, Twins

Eight straight games with an extra-base hit, but none more critical than Monday's tiebreaking, two-run, opposite-field homer.

BY THE NUMBERS

24 Career home runs by Sano that landed in right field or right-center; Monday's was his first since Aug. 17, 2019.

412 Career home runs by Nelson Cruz, who is tied with Alfonso Soriano for 54th-most in MLB history.

ON DECK

Cleveland ace Shane Bieber, who limited the Twins to three hits and no runs in his July 30 start at Target Field, will face Twins righthander Rich Hill.
