Polanco becomes Twins' MLB-record 8th player with 20-plus HRs

The Minnesota Twins' power surge has officially set a record.

Jorge Polanco became the latest Twin to reach the 20-homer mark when he belted a two-run shot off the Tigers' Matthew Boyd in the fifth inning on Saturday.

His blast gave Minnesota eight players with at least 20 home runs this season, establishing a new major-league record.

Seven teams shared the previous record, with the Los Angeles Dodgers most recently fielding seven batters with 20-plus long balls in 2018.

Polanco's blast was one of six Twins homers Saturday, giving them an MLB single-season record 268 homers this year.
