  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Belts homer No. 20

    Santana went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Rays.

    The veteran first baseman took Tyler Alexander deep in the seventh inning, giving Santana homers in back-to-back games. He's up to 20 long balls on the year, the ninth time in his career he's reached that mark, but as per usual he isn't doing much for fantasy GMs in batting average -- over 30 contests since the beginning of August, Santana's slashing .206/.322/.423.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Swipes bag, drives in winning run

    Santana went 0-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Rangers.

    Santana walked in his third trip to the plate before swiping second base, giving him his fourth stolen base of the season.

Santana has struggled at the dish in August, batting just .195 (8-for-41) with two homers, three RBI and eight runs scored. However, he's driven in a run in back-to-back games and has scored at least one run in three of his last four.
