The Minnesota Twins broke the major league record for home runs in a season -- before September even started. Fittingly, it was Mitch Garver who delivered the historic swing. He'd become sort of an unofficial statistician during his team's pursuit. "I've been tracking them for about a week in the dugout, making announcements," Garver said. "`Hey guys, we're 12 away,' or, `We're 13 away.' Something like that. As it went on today, I kept announcing it, making sure everybody knew." Garver's ninth-inning drive capped a sensational night of slugging for Minnesota on Saturday night, giving the Twins 268 home runs on the season -- one more than the New York Yankees hit last year. It was the second homer of the game for Garver and the sixth for Minnesota, which still lost 10-7 to the Detroit Tigers. read more https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=401076766
