Minnesota Twins slugger Miguel Sano hit a three-run home run in the first inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.

Sano is coming off a monster season in 2019 in which he clobbered 34 home runs, recorded 79 RBI and had a .247 batting average along with a .923 RBI.
The home run put the Twins up three runs early in the game. In the second inning, Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco would tie the game with a three-run home run of his own.
It was the final game of a four-game series between the two teams. The Twins hit the road Friday for a series against the Kansas City Royals and have a road series against the Milwaukee Brewers after that. The team doesn’t have a home series until Aug. 14 when they start a weekend set against the Royals.
