The big highlight from this one was an absolute moonshot from Kennys Vargas. He hit a ball into territory at Target Field seen only by Jim Thome. The Twins are calling it the third-longest homer in stadium history.

Entering Sunday's series finale, the Twins and Indians had both scored 310 runs, with nearly identical team OPS marks (.754 and .759).
Only one offense really showed up over the past four games, however.

You can&#x2019;t help but wonder if this game may have ended differently if the Twins just pitched around Edwin Encarnacion.

Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs)

Nik Turley got rocked, giving up eight runs over 4.2 innings. Cleveland tallied nine hits and drew four walks off the lefty. The big blow was a mammoth three-run homer off the bat of Edwin Encarnacion.

This one was a bit uneventful after the first inning, not that we&#x2019;re going to complain. Thanks in large part to Gimenez&#x2019;s three-run homer, the Twins jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first frame.
