Twins 'force the action' as Jorge Polanco's late hit leads to win over Red Sox BOSTON — Same as they have early in the 2022 season, the Twins struggled to hit with runners in scoring position on Monday afternoon. Fortun...
Homers, plates four in win Polanco went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's win over the Red Sox.
Impact Polanco's first hit of the day came in the top of the third inning when he homered off Rich Hill, driving in teammate Gilberto Celestino. He later added a two-RBI single in the eighth, scoring Gary Sanchez and Luis Arraez. The homer was his second of the season and the two-hit performance was his third multi-hit effort of the 2022 campaign.

Polanco HR, 4 RBIs; Twins beat Red Sox 8-3 on Patriots' Day

Racking up free passes Polanco went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Polanco has produced only one hit over his last four games, but he's accrued four walks over that stretch to get on base at a .313 clip. The switch-hitting infielder's walk rate currently sits at a career-high 16.7 percent, but a career-worst 30.6 percent strikeout rate has played a large part in his average sitting at a paltry .200 through nine games. He'll be back in the lineup for Monday's Patriots' Day game in Boston, batting leadoff while manning second base, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic.

Keeps prominent lineup spot in 2022 Polanco will start at second base and hit cleanup in Saturday's game against the Mariners, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact While slotting third in the order Friday with Seattle bringing lefty Robbie Ray to the hill, Polanco went 0-for-3 with a walk in the Twins' 2-1 loss. Seattle will send a right-hander in Logan Gilbert to the hill Saturday, but Polanco will remain locked into a prominent spot in the order. Polanco's inclusion in the heart of the order versus both lefties and righties comes as little surprise following a career-best 2021 campaign in which he hit .269 with 33 home runs, 98 RBI, 97 runs and 11 stolen bases.
