When Byron Buxton hit a home run in the fifth inning of Sunday's 3-1 Twins victory over Cleveland, it was celebrated as the 1,000th by the team since it moved into Target Field 12 years ago.

Soon after the Twins publicized the Buxton home run, @TwinsDingers dropped a rebuttal:
The Miguel Sano home run in question was actually hit during a two-game series at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on April 17, 2018 between the Twins and Cleveland, in a game where Minnesota was officially the home team.
