On base three times in loss Sano went 1-for-2 with two walks and a double in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Royals.

Impact The Twins' offense couldn't get much going against Danny Duffy and the Kansas City bullpen, and Sano had Minnesota's only extra-base hit. The 27-year-old actually has a five-game doubles streak going to push his batting average above the Mendoza Line for the first time this season, and Sano is slashing .203/.306/.473 with four homers and eight RBI through 23 games.

Marlins win again, improve to 6-1 despite outbreak

Records three-run homer Sano went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday against the Pirates.

Impact Sano staked the Twins to an early lead, taking JT Brubaker deep for a home run in the first inning. It was his third long ball of the season, and he's also added two doubles to his power production. More troubling however, is the fact that he has struck out on 49 percent of his 35 plate appearances to this point.

Heads to bench Sano is not starting Wednesday against the Pirates.

Impact Sano has something close to an everyday role in Minnesota this season, starting nine of the team's first 12 games. He's hit just .133 with a 48.4 percent strikeout rate so far, though, so there's a chance his playing time could slip a bit if he doesn't turn things around. Marwin Gonzalez slides over to first base in his absence, with Ehire Adrianza starting at third.

Goes yard twice in win Sano went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 3-0 win over Cleveland.

Impact The slugger took Carlos Carrasco deep in the third inning to open the scoring, giving Kenta Maeda and the Minnesota bullpen all the offense they would end up needing, but then Sano did it again in the fifth for good measure. The blasts were his first home runs and RBI on the season, and he still only has three hits through 20 at-bats -- although all three hit have gone for extra bases. Don't be surprised if Sano goes on a homer binge now that he's found his timing at the plate.
