The catcher came into the night hitting .087 but went 2-for-3, driving in the go-ahead run with his second-inning double before scoring ahead of Byron Buxton's triple two innings later.

BY THE NUMBERS

9 Home runs by the Twins this season, after Miguel Sano and Byung Ho Park went deep. All nine have been solo shots.

2 Times, in 60 starts with the Twins, Phil Hughes has walked two batters in one inning. He also did it in his first start at Target Field with the team in April 2014.
