That annoying stat about no Twins player hitting 30 homers in a season since 1987 died an unmerciful death this evening, when Justin Morneau slugged #30, to give Minnesota a 4-3 victory over Detroit, and a split victory in their three-game series.
Morneau is the first Twin with 30 since Gary Gaetti, Kent Hrbek, and Tom Brunansky all pulled off the feat in "Minny"'s championship season of '87.
Friday, meanwhile, it's Garza time.
