Mitch Garver isn't known for his power, but he certainly showed an ability to hit the ball out of the yard on Sunday as he led Triple-A Rochester to an 8-2 win over Syracuse.
The Twins' No. 14 prospect belted a trio of homers, his second career three-homer game, and matched his season high with four RBIs in an impressive 3-for-5 day at the plate.
"It was something pretty special," Garver told MiLB.com. "I took my time a little bit that third time around. The crowd was cheering. I got back to the dugout, everybody was smiling. I could see the crowd was on their feet. That's a really special feeling."
Garver, who now has 12 homers through 59 games after hitting 12 in 117 games last season, has been on a power surge with four homers over the past three games and five in nine games this month.

The 26-year-old grounded out in his first at-bat Sunday, but then began to steal the show. Garver his a two-run homer in the second and then solo blasts in the fourth and sixth innings.
"It felt good," Garver said. "It's nice to get the ball in the air. If you've ever been to Rochester, you know that the wind blows out on day games, so you always want to be playing in those games and if you can get the ball in the air with enough barrel, you always have a shot."

"With what I've been working on lately, it's been more about controlling the pitches and not worrying about velocity as much," Supak told MiLB.com. "I couldn't tell you what my velocity was today, but I wouldn't think it was as high as it was in the past. But I think locating my pitches has helped me to get a lot more 1-1 groundouts and 0-1 groundouts and more weak contact."
