Of all the home run records that have or will soon fall in 2019, this might be the biggest.
The Minnesota Twins broke Major League Baseball's single-season home run record during Saturday’s 10-7 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
Nelson Cruz was responsible for tying the record. His eighth-inning solo blast was No. 267 for Minnesota, which equaled the 2018 New York Yankees.
In addition to breaking the league record, the Twins are also on pace to go where no one thought an MLB team could possibly go.
Entering play on Saturday, they were on pace to slug an astounding 317 home runs this season.
With Major League Baseball hitters poised to surpass the collective home run record of 6,104 set in 2017, it's no real surprise that the team record has been eclipsed.
