Nelson Cruz made Twins history with this baseball, becoming the only Twins player to ever hit a home run in both games of three doubleheaders in the same season!! Here are the details of this home run. On September 8, 2020, the Minnesota Twins visited the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium III for a doubleheader. The Twins won Game 1 7-3 behind home runs by Josh Donaldson, Miguel Sano, and Cruz. In Game 2, Randy Dobnak started for the Twins, while Daniel Ponce de Leon went for the Cardinals. In the top of the seventh, Giovanny Gallegos was on the mound. Donaldson led off by flying out to Harrison Bader. Cruz walked to the plate. With the count 1-2, GALLEGOS HELD THIS BALL IN HIS HAND!! He threw a 93.1 mph four-seam fastball, and CRUZ LAUNCHED THIS BALL 406 FEET OVER THE CF WALL FOR HIS 15th HOME RUN OF THE SEASON AND THE 416th HOME RUN OF HIS CAREER (by my count)!! ACCORDING TO THE GAME BROADCASTERS (whom you can hear on the game recap on YouTube), CRUZ BECAME THE FIRST TWINS PLAYER TO EVER HIT HOME RUNS IN BOTH GAMES OF THREE DOUBLEHEADERS IN THE SAME SEASON WHEN HE SMACKED THIS HOME RUN!! The Twins ended up falling to the Cardinals 6-4, getting hits only from Donaldson, Cruz, Sano, Brent Rooker, and Ryan Jeffers. (LaMonte Wade, Jr., Willians Astudillo, Jake Cave, Eddie Rosario, Ehire Adrianza, and Marwin Gonzalez all went hitless.) This ball is MLB Authenticated for Cruz’s home run off Gallegos. Thank you for purchasing this piece of Twins history!!
