GAME RECAP

IMPACT PLAYER

Eduardo Escobar, Twins

Five hits, but an irony: One of the AL leaders in doubles finished a double short of the cycle.

BY THE NUMBERS

8 Times the Twins have scored 20 runs in a game, the last coming in 2009.

14 Pitchers used by both teams (though Tigers used a position player), one day before a doubleheader.

UP NEXT
