VIDEO: Miguel Sano Crushes 2-Run Walk-Off Blast to Lift Twins Over Braves
By Karl Rasmussen
Two World Series contenders were pitted up against one another in what was an outstanding pitcher's duel, headlined by Mike Soroka and Jake Odorizzi. The contest was tied all the way down to the bottom of the ninth, and with a runner on first, Miguel Sano sent Twins fans home happy. He launched an absolute moonshot to straightaway center field.

Ronald Acuña didn't even give chase in center field as the ball sailed well over his head and out of play.
Sano's massive swing gave the Twins their 70th win of the year, becoming just the fourth team to reach that achievement in 2019.
