A year after winning just 29 games away from Target Field, the Minnesota Twins have emerged as road warriors in 2017.
The Twins are 23-9 on the road after sweeping the Cleveland Indians over the weekend, the best road record through 32 road games in franchise history.
The first leg of an 11-game, three-city road trip, the sweep catapulted the Twins back to the top of the American League Central, where they’ve been a surprising division leader for most of the season.
The Twins have spent 51 days in first place this season and 23 days in second place and lead the division by half a game Monday heading into a four-game series with the Boston Red Sox.
