Twins' bats explode for best night of '18 in win

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins' offense set a season high in runs scored by the sixth inning, thanks to a three-run first, a five-run second and a seven-run sixth in a 15-8 win over the Tigers on Thursday at Target Field. A few key offensive contributors kept up their recent hot streaks, including a red-hot Logan Forsythe, who collected a career-high five hits to help Minnesota surpass its previous high of 12 runs against the Blue Jays on July 25.

The top of the lineup set the tone, as Joe Mauer, Forsythe, Jorge Polanco and Miguel Sano combined to go 11-for-17 with two homers, three doubles, nine RBIs and 10 runs scored.
