After spending the last couple of years creating a spark out of seemingly nowhere in one season and then waffling the next, it was up to this year’s Twins to prove that their roster did have the talent to compete, and prove that 2017 wasn’t a fluke. A prove it they have. It has taken the Yankees winning five straight games over the last week or so to surpass Minnesota for the best record in the American League, but the Twins still have the best run differential of any team that isn’t the Dodgers.
No team has scored more runs than the Twins, thanks to a team that has power all up and down the lineup.
