Bob Allison and Harmon Killebrew both hit grand slams in the first inning on this date in 1962 (with Killebrew's coming off Cleveland pitcher Jim Perry). The Twins were the first team in American League history to hit two grand slams in an inning.
Early Battey also homered in the 11-run bottom...
Despite giving up 13 hits and a walk, Jim "Mudcat" Grant pitched a complete game shutout of the Senators for a 6-0 Twins win in Bloomington on this date in 1964. He allowed a baserunner in eight of nine innings.
Thirteen is the most hits ever allowed by a Twins pitcher in a shutout.
Need a a little inspiration? This should do it for ya. Just watched it. Never say never

You knew the Cubs bats would wake up eventually and did they ever today. But 2 out of 3 ain’t bad as they say. Bye Target Field until we are back next season. Absolutely love that park
