Twins' Eddie Rosario completes impressive rookie feat
Miguel Sano isn't the only Twins rookie making a big impact this season. Eddie Rosario has shined in his first season in the big leagues and on Wednesday night, he completed an impressive feat for a rookie.
In the Twins' 12-inning loss to the Tigers, Rosario hit his 10th homer of the season to become the first rookie with at least 10 home runs, 10 triples, 10 doubles and 10 stolen bases in a season since Hanley Ramirez in 2006.
"For me, it was the goal," Rosario said (via MLB.com). "I tried to hit 10 homers and 10 triples. So it feels good."
From MLB.com:
Rosario is tied for the major-league lead in triples with 12 to go along with 17 doubles and 10 stolen bases. He also has recorded 15 outfield assists.
Rosario became the 18th rookie dating back to 1901 to reach double-digits in homers, triples, doubles and stolen bases. He's also the first player in the majors to reach those figures this year, but fellow rookie Kevin Kiermaier is two homers away from joining him. San Francisco's Hunter Pence was the lone player in the majors last year to reach double-digits in those four categories.
