BY THE NUMBERS
10 Hits by the first three hitters in the Braves' lineup, in 16 at-bats, enough to drive in eight runs.
223 Home runs on the season by the Twins, just two short of their single-season franchise record, set in 1963.
6 Multihomer games by Nelson Cruz, tying Harmon Killebrew for most in a Twins season.
