Sano (in the clean up spot) hits a long... foul.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sano goeth yard.

[spinowner]

Boom!

[mickeymental]

maybe sano should be the second all star.

[SydneyTwinsFan]

There it goes! May that be the first of many

[hybridbear]

Hope to see many more Sano HRs the rest of this season!

[Craig Arko]

Glad to see his family there to enjoy that.

Miguel Sano's first career homer left the bat at 108 mph and went 396 feet, per Statcast data. He also has a hit in all 6 games he's played.

[Patrick Midthun]

Sano's first MLB homer. Was awesome!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Parmelee doubles to lead off.

 

Advances to 3rd on a ground out.

 

Can Gibson strand another runner at 3rd w/ 1 out?

 

Stay tuned...

But of course.

Am I wrong, or did it look like DanSan stood there and watched his ground ball for a second?

[AlwaysinModeration]

Sano now hitting .445/.544/.722. OPS 1.266.

 

Small sample size?

Yes he did wait. Cost him a hit

[Halsey Hall]

I'm really glad to have tuned in tonight.  See Sano's first bomb, and then see that play - Gibson throws 'em out on a strikeout.  Never seen that before.

Patrick Reusse has said that one of the great things about baseball is that no matter how many games you've seen there's a chance that you can see something you've never seen before. I've never seen a 1-3 putout on a strikeout before.

[mickeymental]

joe mauer is hitting like a man stuck with fork.

[David HK]

Pretty good stuff early on.  Keep it up, lads.

Yes, but he is that guy who can strike fear into a pitcher. Haven't had that since Thome.

[spinowner]

Good play by Hardy.

[JB_Iowa]

Heads up!

[Linus]

Zuke's obviously the better catcher in this game.

...and, another one.  I think Wieters got crossed up, looked like he was thinking fastball.  Still, one heck of an entertaining play for Twinkie fans!

[Danchat]

....and then Rosario gets a RBI strikeout. Haven't seen that before.

[David HK]

Our strategy of making the other team play White Sox baseball seems to be working so far.

Twins get a run on a strikeout ... Rosario strikes out swinging but reaches on a passed ball to allow Mauer to score from third. Up 4-0.

 

After 3.

I have, actually. I saw it happen a few years ago when Michael Restovich was on the team. He's the one who struck out and reached base which allowed a run to score. It may have even been a walk-off win
