Throughout the first two and a half months of the season, the Minnesota Twins lineup has been reminiscent of an impromptu home run derby. In their first 58 games of the season, the Twins lead all of Major League Baseball in runs scored per game (5.98) and home runs (109) which has helped Minnesota claim a MLB-best 40-18 record.
It has been an impressive offensive output for a team that used to be referred to as piranhas, but the Twins lineup has evolved into a group of blood-thirsty sharks. What might be even scarier than watching Jaws as a six-year old, is the fact that Minnesota hasn’t even had their full starting lineup intact until Monday afternoon.
