Jim Thome spent less than two seasons in Minnesota, hitting 37 home runs, including historic No. 600. He returned to Target Field as a visitor for the first time on Friday night, and Twins' fans had a chance to show how much they appreciated his short tenure in a Minnesota uniform. Thome was given a standing ovation prior to his first at-bat, and was applauded again even after hitting home run No. 603. The drive helped the Cleveland Indians beat the Twins 7-6 Friday night to keep the Detroit Tigers, at least for a few hours, from clinching the AL Central title.
