MINNEAPOLIS -- Throughout this season, Joe Mauer has shown flashes of his former All-Star self while grinding out at-bats atop of the Twins' lineup. On Tuesday, he showed there's still a little pop left in his bat, too.
Mauer crushed a towering grand slam in the fifth inning vs. Yankees righty Jonathan Loaisiga to bust the game open and give the Twins a nine-run lead en route a 10-5 win at Target Field.
Mauer's fifth career grand slam had a projected distance of 419 feet and left the bat at 104.
