Park closes uneven month with hard-hit HR

It marked the third-longest dinger hit by Park in 2016. His homers are averaging an impressive 428 feet this season.

"Park got ahold of one and that was good to see," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "He's starting to progress in his consistency with his at-bats. I think he's gaining confidence. He's starting to figure out how to be aggressive. When he gets a mistake, he hits them a long way. It's fun to watch his power."

It has been a learning curve for Park, who is adjusting to seeing Major League pitching after starring in the Korean Baseball Organization, where he hit a combined 105 homers over the past two seasons.
