Record-setting HR streak
The Twins hammered a team-record eight home runs on Aug. 29, 1963, against the Senators — two by Vic Power and Harmon Killebrew and one each by Bob Allison, Jimmie Hall, Bernie Allen and Rich Rollins. The Twins came up one short of that record Tuesday night against San Diego, but accomplished a major-league first by hitting one in each of the first seven innings:
Inning Player Homer Score
1 Brian Dozier solo 1-0
2 Jorge Polanco two-run 7-0
3 Jason Castro two-run 9-0
4 Eddie Rosario two-run 11-0
5 Castro solo 12-0
6 Eduardo Escobar solo 13-0
7 Kennys Vargas three-run 16-0
