Quebecer Édouard Julien hit his second home run in three games to help the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 5-0 on Wednesday night at Target Field in Minneapolis.
The second baseman dispatched the shift of the gunner Alec Marsh far in the right in the first inning to give his team the lead for the first time in the duel. Julien now has six cannon shots in 40 duels since the start of the campaign.

Hitting second in the offensive role, Julien however split the air during his second appearance at the plate. The 24-year-old got a walk in the fifth inning. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli replaced him with Kyle Farmer in the seventh inning and Farmer hit the mark on that batting appearance.
Minnesota wide receiver Ryan Jeffers also joined in the fun by stretching his arms for the fourth time since the start of the campaign.
Minnesota starter Pablo Lopez was sensational on the night by pitching a full game. The right-hander allowed only four hits to the opponent in addition to amassing 12 strikeouts. This incredible performance allowed him to compile his fifth victory of the season.
Minnesota representatives sweep their three-game series against the Royals. This great streak also gives them a one and a half game lead over the Cleveland Guardians who are chasing them at the top of the Central Division in the American League.
Elly De La Cruz, him again
Young Cincinnati Reds sensation Elly De La Cruz was talked about again on Tuesday night. The Dominican hit a bomb more than 455 feet from home plate in a stunning 9-2 triumph over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night at Nationals Park.
As well as scoring his fifth long ball of the campaign, the 21-year-old put the ball in the safe on two other occasions in the clash.
Canadian Joey Votto also had a great performance for the Reds, hitting his fifth shot of the season.
