Twins' Miguel Sano: Homers for third straight game
Sano went 2-for-4 with a home run, his 10th of the season, and three RBI to lead the Twins past Seattle, 6-5, on Saturday night.
Analysis:
Sano jolted Seattle starter Wade Miley with a two-run shot into the second deck of left field with two outs in the first. Saturday marked the third straight game with a home run for Sano and the sixth RBI during that span. The average has dipped a bit from last year's rookie campaign, but that's fairly typical as pitchers adjust to young hitters. It's now Sano's turn to make an adjustment and push that average back up above .250.
