Jose Miranda

The first barrage of fireworks in Minneapolis yesterday came courtesy of Twins infielder Jose Miranda. The 26-year-old barreled up a career-high five hits in the afternoon matinee versus the Detroit Tigers, plating four runs in the 12-3 victory. “Just like we saw today, he’s been swinging like that for a while,” Twins Manager Rocco Baldelli remarked of Miranda’s performance.
