Minnesota Twins: Tyler Austin, big home runs, and his case for 2019

The Minnesota Twins watched one of their recent additions have a pretty great game even if it was in a 6-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Tyler Austin, who came over to the Twins with pitcher Luis Rijo from the New York Yankees, in exchange for Lance Lynn hit two home runs in the final game of the Twins four-game set with the current Wild Card team.

Austin was a player who continued to look buried on the Yankees organization depth chart and stuck being used more like a Quadruple-A player than anything else.
