Twins continue record pace, club 8 HRs in rout

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Miguel Sano and Jonathan Schoop each hit two of Minnesota's franchise record-tying eight home runs, and the Twins hammered Matt Harvey and the Los Angeles Angels 16-7 Thursday.

C.J. Cron homered, doubled twice and singled twice for the Twins. Max Kepler, Jorge Polanco and Eddie Rosario also homered for Minnesota.

It was the third time in franchise history, dating to their days as the Washington Senators, and second time this season Minnesota homered eight times. Before doing it April 20 against Baltimore, the last time it happened was in 1963 against Washington.
