MINNEAPOLIS -- With Miguel Sano sidelined by a hamstring injury and Oswaldo Arcia recently designated for assignment, there has been added pressure on the Twins' other power bats, particularly designated hitter Byung Ho Park, to produce for Minnesota's inconsistent offense.
Although Park has particularly struggled with runners in scoring position this season, he took a promising step in Minnesota's 7-6 loss to the Yankees at Target Field on Saturday, clubbing a two-run homer as part of a three-RBI afternoon.
"You're looking for baby steps there," said manager Paul Molitor.
