BY THE NUMBERS
9 Victories by the Twins this season when trailing after seven innings.
2 Consecutive games with home runs by Kyle Farmer, Michael A. Taylor and Royce Lewis, the first Twins trio to do so since Miguel Sanó-Max Kepler-Eddie Rosario on May 23-24, 2019.
2 Career ejections for Twins hitting coach David Popkins, thrown out in the seventh inning.
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.
