Max Kepler

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler supplied the power on Friday night, propelling the team to a 6-5 extra-innings win. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Kepler barreled up Oakland Athletics starter Mitch Spence for a game-tying, three-run blast. That was Kepler’s 81st career homer at Target Field, passing Brian Dozier to become the all-time longball leader for the ballpark. Kepler wasn’t done there, later driving home the walk-off winner with an RBI single four frames later.
