IMPACT PLAYER: Alex Kirilloff, Twins
Saturday's Twins-Cubs game recap
A quick look at Saturday's victory.
Moved to second in the order, he went 3-for-3 with two homers, a double and two RBI. It was his third career multihomer game and his first since July 5, 2022, at the White Sox.
BY THE NUMBERS
10 Joe Ryan's strikeouts in six innings, the third time he has reached double digits this season. He struck out five of the final six batters he faced.
8 Joey Gallo's homers this season after his monster three-run homer in the third inning tied Byron Buxton for the team lead.
81 Minutes the game was delayed by rain.
Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is arguably their best player and easily their most expensive one. He’s frequently injured and a payroll-strapped team is up for sale. It feels like the Twins can’t afford to keep Correa, but the same is true of losing him.
