"It couldn't have worked out any better, but obviously he's got to take it up north when the real games start," Twins general manager Terry Ryan said. "His work ethic is phenomenal. He's become a great teammate. He's been a threat in the batter's box with quality at-bats. And some of the things we talked about, like velocity, he's shown he's been able to handle those pitches."
Park, 29, has hit .283/.306/.543 with three homers, three doubles and 13 RBIs in 16 games heading into play Tuesday. His homers have come against pitchers with big league experience, such as Tampa Bay's Jake Odorizzi, Toronto's Gavin Floyd and Miami's Andre Rienzo.
