This is just the fourth time this season the Twins reached double-digits in runs, and the first time since May 6, when they also scored 13 runs against the A's. The four homers set a season high, while the 13 runs tied a season best. Vargas paced the offense with a career-high four hits and four RBIs, including a three-run blast as part of a five-run sixth inning, while Mauer and Nunez both homered in a five-run fourth. Dozier later connected on a two-run shot in the eighth to score Byron Buxton, who registered three hits in his first career game as Minnesota's leadoff hitter.
