The Twins found themselves in a 4–1 deficit against the Rangers on Thursday, but the team rallied in an impressive comeback win.
During the eighth inning, with the game tied at five runs apiece, pinch-hitter Ryan Jeffers put Minnesota ahead with a gargantuan two-run home run, the excitement of which was only bested by his equally massive bat flip.
From the moment he made contact, Jeffers knew the ball was destined for the seats, and he celebrated emphatically.

Andy Roddick is best-known for being the last American man to win a Grand Slam title.
Well, it’s already been 20 years since Roddick won the 2003 U.S. Open and became a household name in the tennis world. And, it’s been 11 years since he retired from the sport.
Roddick has 32 career ATP titles, but most people just remember the one major title. So, what does the 40-year-old do with all his trophies nowadays anyway?
Well, Roddick told Sean Manning in a recent GQ Sports feature that the 2003 U.S.
Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson isn’t lacking any confidence during the preseason.
During Thursday’s matchup with the Eagles, Indianapolis’s starting quarterback led a 52-yard touchdown drive on the team’s second possession of the game.
Despite the touchdown coming on a three-yard run from running back Deon Jackson, Richardson celebrated by running into the end zone and hitting the “Fly Eagles Fly” celebration right in the face of Philadelphia fans at Lincoln Financial Field.
Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett showed out during Thursday night’s preseason game vs. the Falcons to end his near-perfect preseason.
The two drives the 25-year-old signal-caller started on Thursday resulted in Pittsburgh touchdowns. He completed all four pass attempts for 86 yards, with zero interceptions or sacks.
Pickett’s final stat line of the preseason includes completing 13-of-15 passes for 199 yards to finish with a 158.3 quarterback rating. Not too shabby for a second-year quarterback.
Former Arizona Cardinals wideout DeAndre Hopkins approved Thursday’s trade between AZ and the New York Giants, adding slight shade at his ex-team.
The Giants acquired linebacker Isaiah Simmons, a former seventh-overall pick, from the Cards for a seventh-round pick.
Hopkins called the trade a “steal” for the Giants, adding some laughing emojis to really drive the “loss” for the Cardinals.
Safe to say, Hopkins is hardly a fan of his former teams.

George Pickens is doing George Pickens things against the Falcons
If the opening offensive drive of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final preseason game is any indication, then second-year wide receiver George Pickens is in midseason form.
Pickens, who wowed Steelers fans — and NFL fans alike — with his catch radius as a rookie, turned in one of the more impressive plays of the preseason in Thursday night’s preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Time to shut down any comeback rumors. Ex-Patriots wide receiver and former Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman is joining Fox Sports as an analyst for “FOX NFL Sunday,” per the network.
It’s a great addition to the network. Edelman is a legend in Foxborough and is reputable as an on-air talent.
Edelman re-teams with two familiar faces currently employed by Fox Sports: former Pats QB Tom Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski.
FOX Sports executive Brad Zager released a statement:
“We are thrilled to welcome Julian Edelman to the FOX Sports family.
WWE star Bray Wyatt, whose real name is Windham Rotunda, died Thursday, according to an announcement from WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque.
Levesque took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday to share the unexpected passing of the former world champion, who was only 36 years old. No cause of death has been reported.
“Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda – also known as Bray Wyatt – unexpectedly passed earlier today,” he wrote.
Stephen Strasburg has existed to baseball fans in the last few years largely as a hypothetical.
As the pitcher tried to mount a grueling recovery from thoracic outlet syndrome over the last few years—he was able to pitch just a handful of collective innings over the past three seasons—there was precious little factual information to go on. The hypotheticals filled the void instead: If he were healthy. If he could make a comeback. If he weren’t really done.
A video that has been circulating on social media over the past 24 hours has now caught the attention of Valdosta State university officials. The video first made its way to social media after being posted by former player Asher Akridge.
In the video, Akridge and a man who identifies himself as the head coach are in a back and forth discussion about the length of Akridge’s hair being the reason why he’s not allowed to play. You can’t see the player or the coach during the length of the almost three minute video during which Asher is pleading to be able to play.
