Minnesota hasn't finished over .500 since 1992. Last in the majors in homers in 2000, the Twins have hit 13 in eight games. After Wednesday, they're third in the AL in runs scored. They are the guys we're supposed to get out. The Twins haven't expected to hit so many over the fence, either.
Home runs are accidents.
That's a real boost when a pitcher can do that. We get the hits and then he gets going right again. Detroit manager Phil Garner put it simply. But for the second straight night, Garner stopped short of giving all the credit to the opposition. We're putting it on a tee for him.
