August 9, 2020 at 3:34AM

GAME 15 OF 60

IMPACT PLAYER

Jorge Soler, Kansas City

The reigning AL home run champion lived up to the title by crushing a pair that traveled nearly 900 combined feet.

BY THE NUMBERS

14 Consecutive Twins runs, dating to Wednesday, driven in by home runs, a streak broken up on a Byron Buxton RBI single in the sixth inning.

4 Home runs for the Royals, only the second time in Kauffman Stadium's 48-year history that they have done that against the Twins.

7 Runs off Twins bullpen, second-highest total of 2020.

ON DECK

The Twins are 6-1 in the past seven road games started by Jose Berrios, and they need him to extend that trend in order to salvage the series finale.
