Alex Kirillof
The Twins are scoring 4.59 runs on average and in the league, the offense is ranked 13th. As a team, they are batting just .238, which is 19th in the league. After Byron Buxton launched a game-tying home run to start the ninth inning, Alex Kirilloff hit a two-out, game-ending single to win against the Chicago White Sox. This season, the Twins have made a special effort to protect Kirilloff from left-handed pitchers. Kirilloff has been heating up lately, which led to his late-inning heroics. He hit a fastball into left field that was just enough.
