The Twins take the series with the Mets after winning game 2 by a score of 8-4. It’s the Twins 37th come from behind win of the year, 5th most in the majors. 5 of the 6 wins alone this month have come after trailing in the game. Let’s circle the bases.
1st, Kenta Maeda worked 5 1/3 innings today giving up 2 runs in a Twins win. 8 of his 16 outs came by way of a line out or fly out to a Twins outfielder. It’s the most fly ball outs by a Twins pitcher in a single game since Jose Berrios had 8 outfield put outs on 5/31/2021 Vs BAL
2nd, Kenta Maeda earned his 63rd Major League Baseball career win this afternoon. He matches Hisashi Iwakuma for 5th most MLB wins by a Japanese born pitcher. Hideo Nomo is on top of that list with 123 wins.
Today’s RBI as a pinch hitter was just the 2nd time in his career that he drove in a run in those situations. The other lone RBI was a fielder’s choice on 9/6/2017 in Tampa Bay.
3rd, Max Kepler broke this one open with a pinch-hit 3 run triple in the 7th, just the 4th pinch-hit triple with the bases loaded in Twins history. Max Kepler is now 6-49 lifetime as a PH (.122 batting average) but 3 of his 6 hits have come in his last 3 pinch-hit appearances.
Home, 7 of the 8 @twins
runs came with 2-outs. The Twins now have 119 2-out RBI in the 2nd half of the season, the most in the majors
