The El Paso Chihuahuas have had a storied history filled with power sluggers, with Eguy Rosario currently holding the franchise record for home runs at 49. Following him is fan favorite Cody Decker, who hit 48 homers before retiring. Matthew Batten adds to the legacy with 46 home runs, while Luis Campusano is poised to challenge Rosario's record. Hunter Renfroe and Michael Gettys are also notable mentions, each having left their mark in the Chihuahuas' history. With the Pacific Coast League known for its hitter-friendly environment, these sluggers have thrived at Southwest University Park.

The Minnesota Twins faced a tough challenge against the Milwaukee Brewers, eventually falling 9-8 despite a valiant attempt to overcome a six-run deficit. Byron Buxton's standout performance included two home runs, extending his remarkable streak of leadoff homers. The Twins amassed 18 hits, their largest total this season, yet left runners stranded in critical moments, continuing a troubling trend that sees them losing 13 of their last 16 games. The Brewers capitalized on key defensive miscues, notably from Brooks Lee, while pitching struggles from David Festa further burdened the Twins’ efforts.

The game saw the Twins battling back with a two-run homer from Ty France in the eighth, narrowing the gap to one run. However, they were unable to convert in the ninth despite putting runners on base. This defeat marked their fourth series sweep of the season, highlighting the Twins’ struggles both offensively and defensively, and raising questions about their potential for the remainder of the season.
