One of the most confounding set of monthly splits so far this season belongs to Brian Dozier. The Twins second baseman was an absolute mess for the first two months of the season, hitting .191/.276/.340 in April, and was one of the chief culprits in the team’s terrible start. He was no better in May, slashing .215/.315/.316. Through Minnesota’s first 51 games, Dozier, who hit 28 homers last year and 23 the season before that, had five home runs, putting him on pace for just shy of 16 roundtrippers.
