MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins outfielder Johnny Field recorded the first multihomer game of his career on Wednesday, as he smacked a leadoff blast in the second and added a two-run shot in the fourth off Tigers lefty Matthew Boyd.
Field, playing in his 18th game with the Twins since being claimed off waivers from the Indians on Aug. 3, crushed a no-doubter in the second on a first-pitch fastball from Boyd. It had an exit velocity of 100.8 mph and went a projected 376 feet, per Statcast™.
His second homer needed the help of instant replay, as it was originally ruled a double.
