The former Twins outfielder hit a leadoff home run and had three hits, scored two runs, and drew a walk. He reached base safely all five times he batted.

BY THE NUMBERS

6 Consecutive times Jorge Polanco has safely reaching base against the Tigers this weekend. He has got on base seven times in 10 at-bats.

5 Walks Jose Berrios gave up in his six innings, the most since Aug. 9, 2018, at Cleveland, when he allowed a career-high six in a single game.

20 Losses the Twins have already, marking the fourth time since 2011 they've lost at least 20 of their first 32 games. In those previous 2011, 2012 and 2016 seasons, the Twins finished in last place.
