Los Angeles Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu may want to be careful when attempting to test Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano with a fastball when the two teams meet Monday at Dodger Stadium.
Sano ranks second in the majors in slugging percentage vs. fastballs, just behind Oakland A’s first baseman Yonder Alonso.
The Twins’ leader in home runs with 23, Sano is batting .272 with a .365 on-base percentage and a .528 overall slugging percentage.
The Twins will turn to veteran Bartolo Colon again against the Dodgers, and while he may be contemplating retirement, the 44-year-old could have one last record in him.
