The Minnesota Twins made history on Saturday night as Mitch Garver hit a pair of home runs to set the single-season home run record. With his ninth-inning home run Detroit TIgers closer Joe Jimenez, Garver gave the Twins a single-season record with their 268th home run of the season, surpassing the New York Yankees total of 267 that was set just last season.
While the Twins were able to make history, the rest of Saturday’s festivities turned quite sour thanks to a poor start from Martin Perez. With Perez digging a large hole that the Twins couldn’t get out of, Minnesota fell to Detroit by a score of 10-7.
