Twins' Miguel Sano: Goes out with a bang

Sano went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Analysis:

Sano launched his 25th home run of the year in the third inning, padding Minnesota's early lead with a towering drive into the left field bleachers. His second season was a disappointment compared to his rookie year, as Sano's OPS dropped from .916 to .781. The 23-year-old has 40-homer power if he stays healthy, but he needs to bring his career 35.8 percent strikeout rate down to avoid becoming a three-true-outcomes type of hitter.
