MINNEAPOLIS -- Mookie Betts once again etched his name into the baseball history books on Wednesday night at Target Field when he launched his 300th career home run.
With a solo blast off Twins right-hander Joe Ryan in the top of the second, Betts officially joined one of baseball's most exclusive clubs, becoming the 169th to reach the mark.
Stepping into the batter's box for his first at-bat of the night, the former American League MVP and four-time World Series champion worked the count full, fouling off a 94.7 mph heater to keep the battle alive. On the seventh pitch, he found exactly what he was looking for, unloading on another 94.7 mph four-seam fastball and sending it deep into left-center field.
The shot marked Betts’ ninth home run of the 2026 season.
