Max Kepler’s grand night sends Twins to walk-off victory over Detroit
The 1,000th Twins home run at Target Field was grand, but it was a ninth-inning walk that set Minnesota up for its fifth straight victory.
Both came courtesy of Max Kepler, still only 29 yet having a career renaissance of sorts this season after hitting a career-low of .211 in 2021. Kepler is now hitting .262 with six homers and 22 RBIs in 40 games this season.
Kepler gave the Twins a 4-0 lead with a grand slam in the first inning – the 1,000th Twins home run since the team began playing in Target Field in 2010 – and scored the winning run in the ninth as the Twins walked off Detroit, 5-4, on Monday in front of 16,361. >>> Full story here.
