 The Twins set a major-league record with 307 home runs last season, with an average of one HR per 18.7 at-bats. That's an entire team hitting home runs for an entire season at virtually the same rate as the career averages of Mel Ott (one HR per 18.5 AB), Roger Maris (18.5), or Miguel Cabrera (18.8).

 Rocco Baldelli was the third manager in the last two seasons to win at least 100 regular-season games in his first season in the majors (101--61), joining Alex Cora (108--54 in 2018) and Aaron Boone (100--62 in 2018). Only four other managers had done so in the previous 100 seasons: Mickey Cochrane, Tigers (101--53 in 1934); Ralph Houk, Yankees (109--53 in 1961); Sparky Anderson, Reds (102--60 in 1970); and Dusty Baker, Giants (103--59 in 1993).

 Yasmani Grandal drew 107 walks in 2019, including 91 as a catcher (15 as 1B, 3 as PH). That's the most walks as a catcher in a single season since Jorge Posada walked 95 times in 2000.

 Mitch Garver hit 31 home runs in 93 games last season. Only two other players in MLB history hit as many as 30 homers in a season while playing fewer than 100 games: Mark McGwire, 32 HR in 89 games in 2000 and Kevin Mitchell, 30 HR in 95 games in the strike-shortened 1994 season.

 Lucas Giolito ranked seventh in the AL with an average of 4.00 strikeouts per walk last season. In 2018, Giolito ranked last in that category among the 58 ERA qualifiers in the majors (1.39 SO/BB). That helped produce a year-over-year decline in his ERA from 6.13 to 3.41.

 Jose Berrios leads MLB with 11 wins against the White Sox during his four seasons in the majors (11--2).

HP - De Jesus, 1B - Livensparger, 2B - Welke, 3B - Hoberg

Right-hander Kenta Maeda will make his debut for the visiting Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon in the rubber game of their season-opening series with the Chicago White Sox.
The 32-year-old Maeda compiled a 47-35 record and 3.87 ERA in four seasons and 137 career appearances with the Los Angeles Dodgers, including a 10-8 mark and 4.04 ERA last season. The defending American League Central champion Twins, in a quest to bolster their starting rotation, obtained Maeda from the Dodgers in a February trade for hard-throwing pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol and outfielder Luke Raley.

Maeda, Twins aim for series win vs. White Sox

CHICAGO (AP) — Jake Cave hit a grand slam, Nelson Cruz homered twice and Kenta Maeda was strong in his debut with his new team, helping the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 14-2 on Sunday.
Cruz added two doubles and drove in seven runs for the reigning AL Central champion Twins, who won two of three. Maeda (1-0), a Japanese right-hander who was traded in February from the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowed two runs and struck out six in five innings.
