Twins third baseman Miguel Sano was named American League player of the week Monday.
In a five-game road trip to Texas and Kansas City, Sano had three home runs and 11 RBI as the Twins went 4-1. He was 11-for-21 (.524) and scored four runs.
Sano had nine RBI in the two games at Kansas City, giving him 25 for the month of April. He has reached 50 career home runs in 219 games, a Twins record.
"He had a heck of a trip," Twins manager Paul Molitor said.
