Twins' Eduardo Escobar: Homers Tuesday in Kansas City

Escobar went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo homer and scored twice in Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Analysis:

Escobar's fourth-inning blast was his sixth of the season, and his first in the team's last 51 games. Tuesday also marked the switch-hitting infielder's first RBI and run since Sept. 15, as Escobar has had a brutal final month of the 2016 campaign. Entering the contest, he was hitting a pathetic .089/.150/.089 through 56 September at-bats, light years beyond his worst numbers for any month this year.
