Twins lead the Majors in ISO in the second half of the year. They are second in home runs, only to the Orioles. They are also second in non-pitcher wRC+, behind only the Cubs. Since the break, their position players have equaled Cleveland in total WAR, and you might have noticed the Indians doing some good things on the field lately.
Byron Buxton has gotten the most attention, and rightfully so, but this power surge isn’t just about Buxton. Yes, he’s tapping his power again and looking like the superstar he was supposed to be, but nearly everyone on the roster has upped their power in the second half....

yankees will, in an hour or so, improve to 88-33 against the twins since 2002
that's a 118-win pace in a 162-game season

Yankees now 87-33 against Twins since 2002. In tomorrow's game, I hear the Twins are using these new rocket skates they just got from Acme.— Joe Posnanski (@JPosnanski) September 20, 2017
